SUPPORT FOR MOTHERS IS ESSENTIAL Breastfeeding has to be learned and many women encounter difficulties at the beginning. Many routine practices, such as separation of mother and baby, use of newborn nurseries, and supplementation with infant formula, actually make it harder for mothers and babies to breastfeed. Health facilities that support breastfeeding by avoiding these practices and making trained breastfeeding counsellors available to new mothers encourage higher rates of the practice. To provide this support and improve care for mothers and newborns, most countries have implemented the WHO-UNICEF Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative, which sets standards for quality care. #WBW2024 #TogetherForMoms #closingthegap #worldbreastfeedingweek #BreastfeedingAwareness #supportbreastfeedingmoms
