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.
