Breastfeeding frequency per 24 hours and during the nighttime (22-06) in La Paz (current status).Data are given as median number of breastfeeds, with whiskers indicating 25–75 percentiles. Number of infants used for calculations of number of breastfeeds/24 hours at various ages in months (nighttime (22-06: 10 pm–6 am)): ≤ 0.25 month: 50 (41); 0.5 m: 21 (21); 0.75 m: 11 (11); 1 m: 46 (46); 2 m: 37 (37); 3 m: 36 (35); 4 m: 39 (38); 5 m: 48 (48); 6 m: 27 (27); 7 m: 33 (33); 8 m: 23 (23); 9 m: 28 (28); 10 m: 29 (29); 11 m: 11 (11); 12 m: 22 (22). For the age-group ≤ 0.25 months, only mother-infant pairs where the mother was deemed to have established a regular breastfeeding pattern were included in the analyses.
