Share of U.S. infants who were breastfed at discharge in 2019, by maternal ethnicity

"Birth data from NVSS are a census of all live births in the United States collected by using the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth. Birth certificate data include an infant nutrition item, determined from medical records, that indicates whether an infant received any breast milk or colostrum during the period between delivery and hospital discharge."
Data excluded infants transferred to another facility within 24 hours of delivery and those who died before completion of the birth certificate.
All racial/ethnic groups were non-Hispanic unless otherwise noted.
