Rwanda Tops World Breastfeeding List

World Health Organization

Rwanda has the highest rate of breastfeeding in the world, according to new figures from the World Health Organization.

BBC Africa Live report continues:
The figures say 85% of mothers exclusively breastfeed their babies for the first six months. 
That's compared to just 1% in the UK, which comes at the bottom of the list.
Here's what the situation is in the rest of the world:
In a report in the medical journal the Lancet researchers say breastfeeding improves child development and reduces the incidence of breast cancer among women.
