Although not directly comparable, our findings are in broad agreement with those from routine data in Scotland that have indicated a positive association between Baby Friendly accreditation, but not certification, and breastfeeding at 1 week
of age.17 Our findings reinforce those
of Coutinho and colleagues who reported that high exclusive breastfeeding rates achieved in Brazilian hospitals implementing staff training with the course content
of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative were short - lived and not sustained at home unless implemented in combination with post-natal home visits.35
Similarly in Italy, training
of staff with an adapted version
of the Baby Friendly course content
resulted in high breastfeeding rates at discharge, with a rapid decrease in the days after leaving hospital.36 In contrast, a cluster randomized trial in Belarus (PROBIT) found an association between an intervention modelled on the Baby Friendly Initiative with an increased duration
of breastfeeding37 an association also reported from an observational
study in Germany.38 Mothers in Belarus stay in hospital post-partum for 6 — 7 days, and in Germany for 5 days, with post-natal support likely to be particularly important in countries where mothers stay in the hospital for a shorter time, with early discharge likely to limit the influence
of a hospital - based intervention.

study, foster children with experiences
of severe maltreatment exhibited more compromised outcomes.32 Other scholars suggest that foster care may even be a protective factor against the negative consequences
of maltreatment.33
Similarly, it has been suggested that foster care
results in more positive outcomes for children than does reunification with biological families.34 Further, some
studies suggest that the psychosocial vulnerability
of the child and family is more predictive
of outcome than any other factor.35 Despite these caveats, the evidence suggests that foster care placement and the foster care experience more generally are associated with poorer developmental outcomes for children.
