Mothers should never feel ashamed to breastfeed their babies.
🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿🤱
From a glass of water, a chat with a friend, or a comfortable space, we can all help respect the rights of mums to breastfeed anytime, anywhere.
Let's all step up to support #breastfeeding mums!
Midwives are frontline defenders against maternal sepsis. Training in WHO protocols — sterile technique, postpartum infection signs, early IV antibiotics — saves lives. #MidwifePower#SepsisPrevention
Breastfeeding protects against newborn sepsis. 🍼
👩⚕️What health workers can do:

✔️Counsel on breast care to prevent mastitis
✔️Ensure clean delivery & umbilical care
