Note for the Frontline Workers

It is important to identify a family member as a support person at the time of delivery. This support person can be any family member and will help the woman in breastfeeding her newborn and other important tasks.
Maternal wellbeing is very important. A mother can only provide her full attention to her child when she is mentally relaxed. If a woman has a loving husband and family, she will be happy and satisfied and this will affect her child positively.
In our culture, joint family system is very common. Children get to spend quality time with their grandparents and other family members. It is very important that family members should be cognizant of child’s needs and provide him/her a safe and healthy environment.
