Recently the discussion has come up at my hospital on the meaning of
“exclusive breastfeeding” for statistical purposes.  On discharge, would you
say a baby is exclusively breastfed if the mom is still breastfeeding even
if the baby received formula for medical reasons such as low blood glucose,
jaundice, etc. or is “exclusively breastfeeding” reserved for a baby who has
ONLY received breastmilk?  Thanks in advance for your input.
