Ever Breastfed New Infant

County: Cuyahoga
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the percentage of women with a live birth whose baby was alive and living with them or still in the hospital, who ever breastfed.

Why is this important?

Breastfeeding provides health benefits for both infants and mothers. Benefits for infants include reduced risk of asthma, obesity, Type 1 diabetes, severe lower respiratory disease, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome. Breastfeeding can help lower a mother's risk of high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer. Breastfeeding is considered to be the best source of nutrition for most infants.
