Breastfeeding Stats in the Philippines

'Been swamped at work and family time, but as i was doing some research i found this! I just want to share some findings from National Statistics Office' 2011 Family Health Survey. The survey has some interesting breastfeeding statistics!

The good news: 92% of children were breastfed for some time! Hooray for moms who attempt and keep on breastfeeding! Some breastfeeding is better than none at all right?

Some more good news -  higher percentage of poor children than non-poor children were exclusively breastfed. 34% of babies from poor household are exclusively breastfed. For higher-earning households, that only24%. This means that babies from poor families usually get breast milk. That's good news because this means poor households won't spend on formula.
