According to the 2016 Breastfeeding Report Card, four out of five infants born started to breastfeed and “high breastfeeding initiation rates show that most mothers in the U.S. want to breastfeed and are trying to do so. However, low breastfeeding rates among infants six to twelve months of age indicate that many mothers do not continue breastfeeding as recommended. These rates suggest that mothers, in part, may not be getting the support they need, such as from healthcare providers, family members, and employers.”
