Abstract:
Exclusive breastfeeding is still not widespread in Liberia, despite being essential for the infant’s health, especially in urban areas. The employment of EBF is hampered by some factors, such as a lack of proper healthcare services, cultural customs, social inequality, and insufficient policy enforcement. This review examines the factors affecting Liberia and compares them to Ghana and South Africa to ascertain practical solutions
