Percentage of babies whose first feed is breastmilk (13641) Metric type
- Help text
- Percentage of babies whose first feed is breastmilk. The numerator is the number of live babies born in the period whose mothers are resident within the local authority (residence based on mother's postcode), whose first feed is known to be breastmilk, including expressed and donor milk and the denominator is the number of live babies born in the period whose mothers are resident within the local authority (residence based on mother's postcode) multiplied by 100. Counts under 5 are suppressed.. This indicator INCLUDES records with an unknown breastmilk status in the denominator in order to incentivise accurate data collection. This means that high numbers of unknowns will reduce the FFBM rate, meaning providers cannot improve rates by classifying FFBM status as unknown. A very small number of women would be expected to be prevented from breastfeeding or giving first feed breastmilk as a result of their own medical history or condition following birth, and a very small number of infants would be expected to be too sick to receive mother's own milk or donor milk in the first 48 hours. This should not compromise the analysis but it should be noted that this indicator would not be expected to reach 100%
