'In Cambodia, exclusive breastfeeding rates climbed dramatically from 11 percent in 2000 to 74 percent in 2010.Much of the credit goes to efforts such as the Baby-Friendly Community Initiative, which organized “Mother Support Groups” to provide education and individual counseling on infant and young child feeding.
These volunteer-led groups have reached approximately 517,000 women in 2,675 villages, promoting early and exclusive breastfeeding, continued nursing to 2 years or beyond, and appropriate complementary feeding starting at 6 months of age.'
