| dc.description.abstract | Breastfeeding provides a vital source of nourishment for infants, particularly young infants not on complementary feeding. It provides benefits, both physiological and psychological, to not only infants but also their mothers (Ali Dawed et al., 2023). According to the World Bank and the United Nations (UN), developing countries, also sometimes referred to as low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are nations that are home to about 50% of the world's population, with much of their population living below the poverty line, and with economies marred by inconsistent growth and stagnancy. For such nations, breastfeeding provides an additional benefit through cost-effective interventions (Ali Dawed et al., 2023). Keywords: Breastfeeding, psychological, population , middle-income countries | |
