The Infant Care and Breastfeeding Area
The creation of an Infant Care and Breastfeeding Area is an initiative of the Deputy Mayor for Social Policy, which enables mothers to use the center to breastfeed and care for their baby in a well-designed space, in conditions of privacy and comfort. It is a move to highlight the importance of breastfeeding.
It is worth noting that due to the particularly high needs, but also the effort to improve the services provided to vulnerable social groups, the Child and Family Support Structure «Children’s Umbrella», now extends to the ground floor of the building, acquiring physiotherapy rooms, learning support, a psychologist and a nutritionist.
