Breastfeeding rates among U.S. infants born in 2017

Published by

While the percentage of infants ever breastfed was high, rates dropped to 58 percent at 6 months. Furthermore, only 1 in 4 infants born in 2017 were exclusively breastfed through 6 months. It is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics that infants be exclusively breastfed for about the first 6 months with continued breastfeeding whilst introducing complementary foods for at least one year. This statistic shows the percentage of infants born in 2017 in the U.S. who were breastfed for select durations, data from 2018 to 2019.
