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 interventio

BFHI has been shown to be very effective
in increasing
breastfeeding initiation,
exclusive breastfeeding and
breastfeeding duration
in many countries, as well as improving mother's health care experiences and reducing
rates of infant abandonment.12 Given the short and long - term benefits of
breastfeeding to the infant, mother and society, implementing BFHI — alongside with the other objectives stated
in the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding - continues to have an important role to play
in health services worldwide.
Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants1, providing protection from morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases2 and chronic diseases later in life.3 Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended, starting within one hour of birth and for the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding to 2 years of age and beyond.4 However, rates of initiation, exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration have fallen since the widespread introduction and promotion of breast - milk substitutes.5 Successful breastfeeding depends on a number of factors, including a re-normalisation of breastfeeding as the infant feeding method of choice through antenatal counselling and education and breastfeeding support to prevent and resolve breastfeeding

While
exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is on the rise

Overall
breastfeeding is defined as those infants that are fed exclusively breast milk plus those infants that are
breastfed but also receive some type of supplemental nutrition (infant formula, rice, etc.),
in other words, it is the sum of the combination

exclusive breastfeeding rate.

Although professional lactation support can improve the duration of overall breast feeding, its effect
in improving
exclusive breast feeding is unclear.11 18 22 Thus far, studies that report improvement of
rates of
exclusive breastfeeding have involved mainly community based peer counselling strategies.23 24 25 Even then, a randomised trial
in the UK recently cast doubt on the efficacy of this approach.26 There are current recommendations from NICE for the UK - wide implementation of the baby friendly initiative.4 5 6 The 2006 NICE costing report on routine postnatal care of women and their babies estimates that efforts to improve
rates of breast feeding will result
in substantial cost savings for the NHS.6
Antenatal
breastfeeding education and postnatal lactation support both significantly improved the
rates of
exclusive breastfeeding up to six months after delivery compared with routine care
in a tertiary hospital setting.
The
rates of any and
exclusive breastfeeding in our control population (group 1) were relatively low at only 34 % and 9 %, respectively, six months after delivery.

in eastern and southern regions
in Africa (51 %)[9].
While there is evidence for the effectiveness of professional support
