As expected, there was a trend associated with deprivation (Table 367). Around one in
five babies born over the four month period who lived in the most deprived and second
most deprived quintile areas of Hull were totally breast-fed at 6 weeks, whereas in the
least deprived and second least deprived quintile areas this was around one in three or
higher. Three-quarters of babies were exclusively bottle-fed in the most deprived areas
compared to around 60% in the least deprived areas.

There was also a strong association with ethnic group (Table 368). The percentage
exclusively breast-fed at 6 weeks was highest in the Non-British White group (64%),
Black or Black British (55%) and Asian or Asian British (52%) and lowest in White British
(23%).

There were also differences in breast-feeding among the dominant ACORN groups (see
section 6.10 on page 138 for more information about the ACORN classifications based
on postcode). Four in ten babies in the Wealthy Achievers classification were
