mPINC Results
Results from the 2007 and 2009 mPINC surveys indicate that despite slight improvements, birth facilities in most states are not providing maternity care that is fully supportive of breastfeeding (Hospital Practices to Support Breastfeeding – United States, 2007 and 2009). This report found that from 2007 to 2009 the percentage of hospitals with recommended practices on at least 9 of 10 indicators consistent with the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding increased only slightly, from 2.4% to 3.5%.
Information about the 2007 survey can be found in the June 13, 2008, MMWR article, Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Practices among Hospitals and Birth Centers – United States, 2007.

State Reports
Aggregate state-level data are shared with state level organizations from state health departments to state breastfeeding coalition to facilitate their work with hospitals and birth centers in improving breastfeeding care. State Reports summarize each state’s facilities’ strengths in breastfeeding support as well as the areas in need of improvement. These reports identify opportunities for states to better protect, promote, and support breastfeeding mothers and infants. They are also available in text-only versions.
