La lactancia materna supera el 90% de inicio, pero la exclusividad sigue por debajo en El Salvador

In El Salvador, the initiation rate for breastfeeding has surpassed 90 percent. Despite this high initial uptake, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of an infant's life remains below international health recommendations.

Representatives from the Centro de Apoyo a la Lactancia Materna (CALMA) have highlighted this discrepancy between initial adoption and sustained exclusive practice. The data underscores a persistent gap in meeting global standards for infant nutrition during the critical first half-year of development.
