The USBC Breastfeeding Policy Map is an interactive map featuring federal and state legislation and regulations with the potential to impact infant feeding and/or the lactation field.

​The policies included on the map are curated from federal and state government sources, allowing the lactation field to quickly and proactively scan the policy landscape to stay informed about policy opportunities, challenges, and emerging trends. Filter by state or issue area to view relevant bills and regulations, including bill status, most recent action, and a link to the full text. 

Please reference the instructions below the map to learn how to engage with it.

The map aims to gather all state and federal policy proposals with the potential to influence human milk feeding and is updated on an approximately weekly basis.
