​State & Territory Breastfeeding Reports

Breastfeeding has a profound impact on population health outcomes. The evidence for the value of human milk to the overall health of infants, children, and mothers is scientific, robust, and continually reaffirmed by new research. 
Each report describes how breastfeeding rates in the state/territory and other measures compare to national levels, lists the coalitions serving communities in the state, and highlights state and community-based lactation projects made possible through federal funding in 2021 and 2022, including: 
​
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programs:
  • Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding 
  • Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 
  • State Physical Activity and Nutrition (SPAN) and breastfeeding innovation grants for SPAN recipients
  • Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country (GHWIC) 
  • State Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQCs)
  • EMPower Best Practices 

Office on Women’s Health (OWH) programs:
  • Reducing Disparities in Breastfeeding Innovation Challenge 
  • Racial Equity in Postpartum Care Challenge

Health Resources & Service Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA, MCHB) programs:
  • Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant
  • Children’s Healthy Weight State Capacity Building Program (CHW SCBP)
  • Healthy Start
  • Healthy Start Doula Supplement
  • Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) 
  • Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) 
  • Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Nutrition

See how federal investments in infant feeding are making a difference where you live.

*A new iteration of the State & Territory Breastfeeding reports will be released in August of 2023 for National Breastfeeding Month featuring an updated list of coalitions. If you would like your breastfeeding coalition to be featured in your state or territory's breastfeeding report, join the USBC Coalitions Directory by completing the USBC Member Interest Form by July 31, 2023.
