Within the first eleven months, the HV CoIIN is generating promising movement toward breakthrough change across indicators,
On average, 74% of all home visitors within the breastfeeding collaborative across 11-months, are being trained in lactation and infant feeding, with a trend in the data towards meeting our overall Process AIM. Over the last four months, the average has increased to more than 89%.
On average, 69% of mothers with an identified need for breastfeeding support are receiving professional or peer breastfeeding support across the collaborative. Efforts in Action period three will aim to strengthen community and peer supports for families.
The average percent of women exclusively breastfeeding is 16%, up 13 percentage points from the baseline of 3% of women.
