Hospital Breastfeeding Rates & Reports

The most current hospital breastfeeding reports and fact sheets, produced by CWA are below. For the most recently released hospital breastfeeding data, go to the CDPH Breastfeeding Data and Reports page: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DMCAH/Breastfeeding/Pages/Data.aspx

The in-hospital support a mother receives before and after birth greatly impacts breastfeeding success. CWA and partners develop reports and fact sheets each year to highlight breastfeeding rates in California hospitals by county. Use these resources to advocate for improved policies and practices and give credit to hospitals doing a great job.
