What will be an ideal response?
Around the world, in more than 80% of the world's societies, mothers provide the primary care for infants. Mothers still are the primary individuals who carry, clean, feed, and interact with their infants. However, around the world, it is rare to find mothers serving as the sole caregivers. Instead, they share responsibilities with family members, such as fathers, grandparents, and other children in the family. In developed countries, they also increasingly share responsibilities with persons from outside the family, such as childcare providers.
