Major Field of Science: | Medical and Health Sciences | Field Category: | Health Sciences | Keywords: | breastfeeding;breastfeeding support;humanitarian settings;infant malnutrition;North-East Nigeria | Issue Date: | 2023 | Source: | Frontiers in Public Health, 2023, vol. 11 | Volume: | 11 | Journal: | Frontiers in Public Health | Abstract: | Breastfeeding (BF) should be protected, promoted, and supported for all infants in humanitarian settings. The re-establishment of exclusive BF is also a central part of the management of acutely malnourished infants under 6 months (<6 m). Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a nutrition project in Maiduguri, a protracted emergency setting in North-East Nigeria. This study aimed to explore caregivers' (CGs) and health workers' (HWs) perceptions of BF practice, promotion, and support among CGs with infants <6 m in this setting. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/30047 | ISSN: | 22962565 | DOI: | 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1077068 | Rights: | © by the authors Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International |
