| Publisher Description: Breastfeeding has been established as the gold standard of infant feeding, and exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of a child's life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) less than 40% of children globally are exclusively breastfed up to six months. The practice of exclusive breastfeeding in Ghana is estimated at 52% and that of professional working mothers is about 10.3%. This study therefore sought to find out the support professional working mothers in schools, health facilities and banks are exposed to in relation to exclusive breastfeeding at workplaces in Tamale Central Sub-Metropolitan of the Northern Region. |
