Barnsley in Depth Children’s and Young People’s Report – 2008/09 Information3.8 Infant feedingLocal infant feeding data is available from the maternity database at theBarnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for all mothers who have theirbabies at the hospital. Figure 3.8.1 illustrates the percentage of mothers whohad initiated breastfeeding at the time of discharge from hospital for the period2004/05 to 2008/09. The data shows that in 2008/09, 63.0% of new mothersinitiated breastfeeding at time of delivery.Figure 3.8.1 Proportion of Barnsley mothers initiating breast feeding at time ofdischarge 2004/05 to 2008/09Source: Maternity System, BHNFT – All maternities100.0%90.0%80.0%England Average 78%(Infant Feeding Survey 2005)Percentage Initiating Breastfeeding70.0%60.0%50.0%40.0%30.0%50.1%51.5% 51.2%57.0%63.0%20.0%10.0%0.0%2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08 2008/09YearIt is difficult to make direct comparisons between the England average andBarnsley figures as the rates have been measured at different time periods.However in 2005 the breastfeeding initiation rate in England was 78%, 15%higher than the Barnsley average for 2008/09.Further analysis of the 2007/08 and 2008/09 data by neighbourhoodillustrated in Figure 3.8.2 shows the percentage of women recorded asinitiating breastfeeding on discharge by the Index of Multiple Deprivation2007. It can be seen that a lower percentage were recorded as initiatingbreastfeeding at discharge in the more deprived neighbourhoods.- 27 -

Usually, +0.7 or above isregarded a significant positive result.The prevalence of children breastfed at 6 to 8 weeks in 2008/09 was 29.5%,which achieved the Vital Signs Target of 21.5%. The figure for April toSeptember 2009 is 34.3%.3.9 Dental HealthDental decay is a common childhood disease which affects both deciduous(milk) and permanent teeth. The consequences of early dental decay can lastthroughout life and require ongoing care. The level of dental decay can bereduced through promoting good oral hygiene and encouraging a reduction inthe amount of and frequency of intake of sugar containing foods.Dental health is measured by the mean average number of teeth per childwhich are either actively decayed and require treatment or which were treatedfor decay either by extraction or filling (DMFT).The dental health of children is monitored by a rolling programme of surveysundertaken by the Community Dental Service in schools. In 2005/06 thesurvey was of 5 year old children. The results show that in England theaverage number of DMFT was 1.47 compared with an average of 2.03 inBarnsley, a difference of 0.56, which is too high. However, Figure 3.9.1demonstrates that there has been an improvement in the DMFT score from2.66 in 2003/04 to 2.03 in 2005/06.- 28 -
