Abstract
Globally, health workers play a critical role in the establishment and sustenance of
breastfeeding due to their frequent contacts with mothers at the antenatal clinics, maternity/birthing
units, Primary Health Care Centres (PHC) and postpartum clinics. Their knowledge and attitude
regarding breastfeeding will affect the quality of information about infant and young child feeding
practices passed along to mothers who visit their health facilities.
