Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

This from today's Daily. I'm not sure if it's high here or not. They seem to have calculated it on only one of the seven criteria which are; funding, regulation of breast-milk substitute marketing, paid maternity leave, baby-friendly hospitals, breastfeeding counseling, community support programs and national monitoring of breastfeeding rates and related policies.


Cambodia’s Breastfeeding Rates High Despite Policy Gaps

Cambodia’s success with breastfeeding is a new development—but it’s in decline. From 2000 to 2010, the amount of Cambodian babies under 6 months breastfed exclusively rose from 11 percent to nearly 75 percent, said Dr. David Raminashvili, technical lead for nutrition and health at World Vision Cambodia. He attributes this massive increase in breastfeeding to an aggressive media campaign supported by the government, the NGO sector and U.N. organizations during the 2000s.

Progress has since dropped off in the last five years, with exclusive breastfeeding under six months down to 63 percent. Both an increase of advertising for breast milk substitutes as well as women in the workforce have contributed to this decline, Dr. Raminashvili said
