Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates Among Roma and Non-Roma Mothers in Greece: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study from “Tzaneio” General Hospital of Piraeus
The provision of midwifery support did not significantly enhance exclusive breastfeeding rates among Roma mothers. This suggests the need for more comprehensive and multi-faceted interventions. Further research is required to confirm these findings and to design effective programs aimed at increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates, thereby improving health outcomes for Roma children and mothers.
