Lovely story. Not sure if it is really a myth that HIV positive mums should not breastfeed though?

Yeah, if you look at the studies done in South Africa (the highest HIV rate in the world) you’ll see that they now recommend that HIV positive mothers exclusively breastfeed for six months. It’s when they combination feed that the HI virus enters the gut ( i think) and they can become infected. They have also found that the babies who have been breastfed by their HIV positive mothers have been healthier in general than the ones who have been formula fed.
