The 2022 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS), report says that nearly half (47.4 percent) of children aged 0 to 5 months in Ghana are not being exclusively breastfed; highlighting a significant gap in exclusive breast-feeding practices in the country. The practice has remained relatively unchanged over the past two decades - increasing marginally by 0.8 percentage points between 2003 (46.6 percent) and 2022 (47.4 percent). Additionally, the Ghana Statistical Service's (GSS) 2022 GDHS indicates that although breastfeeding in the country is near universal - with 96.8 percent of children born in the two years preceding the survey having been breast-fed - the initiation and duration of exclusive breastfeeding fall short of the World Health Organisation's (WHO) recommendations. The WHO recommends that children should initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of birth and be exclusively breast-fed for the first 6 months of life. The survey also found that 41.8 percent of children born in the two years preceding the 2022 GDHS did not start breastfeeding within the first hour of life.
