  2. Breastfeeding Rates in Suffolk Over Last 5 Years (Excluding Waveney)

  3. How Have We Achieved This Improvement? • Breast Feeding Policy in place • 4 (+2) trainers trained in UNICEF Breast Feeding Management Training. • All HV staff trained in Breastfeeding Management • All Children’s Centre Staff in process of being trained in Breastfeeding management • Children’s Centres have commissioned BfN Breastfeeding Helper Training • A Breastfeeding Support Group in each cluster • Each HV team has a designated Breastfeeding Champion • Each HV team has an individual target to increase their BF rates • Each HV team, in conjunction with CCs, has their own action plan • Quarterly breastfeeding meetings with Breastfeeding Co-ordinators • Tightened up data collection process.

  4. Collecting Breastfeeding Data

  5. Changes in How We Collect Data • Data is collected monthly not quarterly. • Data that is collected at birth is for the same cohort as at 6 weeks. • All unknowns are now investigated and followed up. • Drop off rates from Birth to 10 days and from 10 days to 6 weeks are monitored and followed up if unusually high. • Templates on SystmOne (S1) are being updated to provide more robust electronic data. • S1 data is audited to ensure that it is robust. • East and West CCGs have separate BF targets for 6 weeks. (E-53%, W-49%)

  6. Future Plans • To collect data exclusively via S1 • SCC has submitted intention to work towards UNICEF Breast Feeding Friendly Status • HV Lead • CC Lead • Joint Action Plan • Audit of staff in progress
