Summary of results
Breastfeeding prevalence at 6-8 weeks after birth
(by local authority)
2016/17 Quarter 3
Background
The breastfeeding information within this publication has been obtained via a new interim reporting system to
collect health visiting activity at a local authority resident level. Quarter 1 of 2015-16 was the first reporting
period and the reporting by local authorities to Public Health England is voluntary.
Caution should be exercised when interpreting these figures as it is a new data collection and there is not full
coverage. Any figures shown at a PHE Centre or England level are based on an aggregate total of local
authorities within those areas who supplied data items which complied with national validation criteria for the
breastfeeding indicator.
The statistics produced are still experimental and undergoing evaluation and development. Therefore they are
subject to modifications in future releases.
Summary of Quarter 3
Of 150 reporting local authorities (Hackney & City of London and Cornwall & Isles of Scilly report jointly), 146
submitted a return for the interim reporting collection for Quarter 3 2016/17.
4 of the 146 submissions failed stage 1 validation (failing to provide either the number of infants due a 6-8 week
review or the number of infants totally/partially being breastfed). The aggregated totals for each PHE centre an
the England value is therefore based on submissions from 142 reporting local authorities.
Breastfeeding rates at a PHE centre level can be published for the North East, East Midlands, and East of
England PHE Centres. The others cannot be published as they fail to meet the validation at stage 3 (known
breastfeeding status for infants age 6-8 weeks does not meet the 95% quality standard - please refer to
'Validation Rules' for more information).
An aggregate England value can be published based on the 142 submissions passing stage 1 validation, due t
the England threshold being lower at 85%.
The aggregate breastfeeding rate for Q3 for England based on 142 reporting local authorities is
44.1% (with confidence intervals of 43.9 44.4%).
This compares to 42.9% for Q3 2015/16, based on revised figures.
Full information (percentages and confidence intervals) can only be published for 73 reporting local authorities
10 areas failed validation checks at stage 2 (children due 6-8 week reviews not within 20% of the resident
population of babies aged 0) and 59 failed validation checks at stage 3 (breastfeeding status not known for 95%
of infants due 6-8 week reviews - please refer to 'Validation rules' for more information).

Definitions
Information was historically published by NHS England at CCG level based on registered population,
however on 1 October 2015 the commissioning of health visiting services transferred to local authorities.
Public Health England has established an interim reporting system to collate the breastfeeding information
until the Maternity and Children's Dataset (MCDS) is in a position to report more fully.
Local authorities have been asked to report a number of health visiting metrics at a resident population
level (for each quarter of 2015/16 and 2016/17). The following four data items are key:
The number of infants due 6-8 weeks reviews in each quarter.
The number of infants being totally breastfed (defined as infants who are exclusively receiving breast
milk at 6-8 weeks of age - that is, they are NOT receiving formula milk, any other liquids or food).
The number of infants being partially breastfed (defined as infants who are currently receiving breast
milk at 6-8 weeks of age and who are also receiving formula milk or any other liquids or food).
The number of infants being not at all breastfed (defined as infants who are not currently receiving any
breast milk at 6-8 weeks of age).

Submissions go through a number of validation stages:
Each area has to pass all 3 stages in order for its values to be shown.
