most common misbeliefs about exclusive bf

1. „my diet in the factory is not full of nutrition so my milk is not good for the child.“

2. „the environment in the factory is polluted which affects my milk.“

3. „extracted milk gets spoilt before i bring it home“

4.„the child needs to get used to the bottle before i go back to work.“
