The United States Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) is an independent nonprofit organization that was formed in 1998 (incorporated in the state of Florida in 2000) in response to the Innocenti Declaration of 1990, of which the United States Agency for International Development was a co-sponsor. Among other recommendations, the Innocenti Declaration calls on every nation to establish a multisectoral national breastfeeding committee comprised of representatives from relevant government departments, non-governmental organizations, and health professional associations to coordinate national breastfeeding initiatives. What began as a conversation with 19 people has grown into a powerful coalition of more than 130 organizations that work collaboratively to drive efforts for policy and practices that create a landscape of breastfeeding support across the United States.
