Knowledge and Environment for Breast Feeding

► See the article “Breastfeeding Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice among White-Collar and Blue-Collar Workers in Indonesia” in volume 34, number 45, e284.

White-collar workers have better knowledge and practice toward breast feeding than blue-collar workers.

Knowledge and environment for breast feeding To promote the breast feeding, workers need to be equipped with

knowledge.

In addition, workers need to be provided with

good environment.

Knowledge and

environment contribute to the maternal and child health of both white-collar and blue-collar workers.
