Editorial reading guide · Collaboration
Do managers, caregivers and parents agree about what makes support workable?
Compares parents’, care providers’ and managers’ views on breastfeeding and work, showing the value of designing feasible support together.
Study context
Working mothers, husbands and carers, health providers, daycare directors, and flower-farm and hotel managers in Naivasha, Kenya.
Age / stage: Employed mothers and infants during the first six months.
Read with three questions
- How did mothers’ challenges compare with managers’ preferred solutions?
- What roles did onsite care, schedule flexibility and milk-expression knowledge play?
- Which suggested interventions were proposals rather than tested improvements?
Keep the limits in view
Purposive qualitative evidence from agriculture and tourism cannot establish comparative intervention effects or population prevalence; recommendations need local feasibility and outcome evaluation.
