1Exclusive breastfeeding is defined as ONLY breast milk — NO
solids, no water, and no other liquids. Source: National Immunization Survey, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services Sample sizes appearing in the NIS breastfeeding tables are slightly smaller than the numbers published in other NIS publications due to the fact that in the DNPAO breastfeeding analyses, the sample was limited to records with valid responses to the breastfeeding questions. Counties and cities not sampled or with sample size <100 (Alabama's Jefferson County; Arizona's Maricopa County; California's Alameda, Fresno, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties; Denver, Colorado; Florida's Duval County; Georgia's Fulton/Dekalb Counties; Indiana's Marion County; Eastern Kansas; Louisiana's Orleans Parish; Boston, Massachusetts; Detroit, Michigan; Missouri's St. Louis County and City; Nevada's Clark County; Newark, New Jersey; Southern New Mexico; Ohio's Cuyahoga and Franklin Counties; Pennsylvania's Allegheny County; Tennessee's Davidson's and Shelby Counties; Washington's King County and Wisconsin's Milwaukee County) are not reported on in this table. |
