Although most infants born in 2017 started breastfeeding (84.1%), only 58.3% of infants were breastfeeding at 6 months. The percentage of breastfed infants supplemented with infant formula before 2 days of age was 19.2% among infants born in 2017, an increase from 16.9% among infants born in 2016. Breastfeeding is most important to child survival in day to day life . If breastfeeding were scaled up to near universal levels, about 820 000 child lives would be saved every year .
