eller? Kan tänka mig att Sverige ligger bra till. Skulle vilja jämföra både med andra nordiska, europeiska och utom-europeiska länder.

AUSTRALIAN BREASTFEEDING RATES BELOW WORLD AVERAGE Call to reverse slide Breastfeeding rates in Australia are in danger of falling - and may have fallen - to lower than the world average, the President of the Australian Breastfeeding Association Wendy Burge said today. In view of these alarming figures, Ms Burge called for the re-introduction of the federal government\'s national breastfeeding strategy which lapsed in 1999. She said that world-wide, some 35 per cent of babies are breastfed exclusively during the first four months of life. The latest available Australian figures, from the 2001 National Health Survey, show that only 32 per cent of Australian babies were being breastfed exclusively at six months. "Given the recognised benefits of mother\'s milk for a baby, these statistics are disturbing," she said. "They fall far short of the NH&MRC\'s recommended target of having 80 per cent of Australian babies exclusively breastfed at six months." Ms Burge said a new Breastfeeding Strategy should incorporate the principles of the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding just released by the World Health Organisation and the United Nations Children\'s Fund, UNICEF. The strategy is the result of two years of global consultation on feeding babies and young children. Based on the best available scientific and epidemiological evidence, it calls on governments to take action to ensure a dramatic increase in the number of babies being exclusively breastfed. The agencies concluded: \'There is no better way than breastfeeding to make sure that a child gets the best start in life...Breastfeeding alone provides the ideal nourishment for infants for the first six months of life as it provides all the nutrients, antibodies, hormones, immune factors and antioxidants an infant needs to thrive...\' "Australia has no reason to be complacent," Ms Burge said. "The diseases of affluence, not least obesity, have reached serious proportions in Australia, at huge cost to individuals and at huge cost to our health system. WHO and UNICEF concluded that these diseases, too, just as with the diseases of poverty, are best countered by ensuring babies exclusively get mothers\' milk. It is imperative that, as a nation, we adopt the recommendations necessary to increase our breastfeeding rates substantially." Recommendations include ensuring mothers have skilled practical help and information from the health care system and from trained volunteer counsellors, and enabling women in paid employment to continue breastfeeding. Ms Burge said governments could make a difference. "Australian government support for breastfeeding at birth means that 82 per cent of mothers feed their babies whilst in hospital," she said. "What we need to do is ensure that this is followed through so that mothers can breastfeed exclusively for at least the six months after leaving hospital".
