Breastfeeding In Tennessee

by Anna Morad, MD, FAAP

The month of August is National Breastfeeding Month and provides an opportunity for us to reflect on breastfeeding rates and practices. The CDC recently released the results of the revised Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care Survey (mPINC). Forty-four of Tennessee’s birthing hospitals completed the survey and the state received a score of 72/100 or 49th place (out of 51). View the full report here.

What are the TN opportunities for improvement?
