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.

from a randomized controlled trial of support provided by volunteer
breastfeeding counsellors that although such support was rated by mothers as helpful, volunteer support was not effective at
increasing breastfeeding duration, perhaps owing to mothers not actively taking up such support.

breastfed infants, there is no evidence of an

breastfed infant does not reduce nitrate to nitrite (see following section).14
The
increased socioeconomic inequalities in
breastfeeding observed in the intervention group supports the argument that population intervention strategies could inadvertently exacerbate, rather than mitigate, socioeconomic inequalities, particularly when the intervention aims to change individual behaviours rather than targeting «upstream» structural changes.25 Our results are also compatible with an observational study
from Brazil reporting that
breastfeeding rates
increased first among the socioeconomically better - off, followed by
increases among the poor, over a 20 - year period of active
breastfeeding promotion campaigns in Brazil.26

increases in
breastfeeding resulting
from such interventions have equally benefited all socioeconomic groups.
