Nicholas Kristof writes in the New York Times, 'What if nutritionists came up with a miracle cure for childhood malnutrition? A protein-rich substance that doesn’t require refrigeration? One that is free and is available even in remote towns like this one in Niger where babies routinely die of hunger-related causes? Impossible, you say? Actually, this miracle cure already exists. It’s breast milk.' Only 9% of babies are exclusively breast fed for the first six months, many others are given tainted water in the mistaken belief that that's what babies need.
