The parent craft sessions ran at Mamta plays a major role in promoting breastfeeding; the importance of BF is reiterated in the support group. Mamta also runs Breast Feeding Support at Foleshill Children Centre. The women in the community really welcome that Mamta staff give them extra support both via the phone and advice is given. Feedback given is always positive and women really feel they have gained confidence.
