Change of attitude leads to rise in breastfeeding

Greek women are increasingly choosing to breastfeed their newborn babies after years of relying on formula, according to a report conducted by the Children's Health Institute in 2017.

Based on the data, seven in 10 women last year breastfed their infants for the first few months, reversing a four-to-10 ratio recorded in a similar report in 2007.
