The support a mother receives from her husband, family, health workers and those around her can make that difficult period a little easier. This year’s World Breastfeeding Week highlights that support as part of a “warm chain” around every mother. Because while only a mother can breastfeed, doctors say she should not have to carry everything else alone. And it should not be the responsibility of health workers alone. Each is a link in the warm chain, and health workers say none of them can afford to be missing.
