Breastfeeding at 6 to 8 weeks after birth: 2019 to 2020
Annual datasets and commentary for the number and proportion of infants who have been fully, partially or not at all breastfed at 6 to 8 weeks after birth. This release is for quarters 1 to 4 of 2019 to 2020. PHE suspended the collection of data to the interim 0 to 5 national reporting system in April so that local government could focus on the response to COVID-19. Data collection restarts in September. The publication of annual data for 2019 to 2020 will be delayed.
