The Centers for Disease Control has released its 2020 report on breastfeeding rates for children born in 2017.
Although most infants born in 2017 started breastfeeding (84.1%), only 58.3% of infants were breastfeeding at 6 months. The percentage of breastfed infants supplemented with infant formula before 2 days of age was 19.2% among infants born in 2017, an increase from 16.9% among infants born in 2016.
In the U.S., Louisiana had the lowest rate of 66.2% of babies ever breastfed and just 41% of babies breastfed at 6 months . Minnesota had the highest rate of 95.3% of babies ever breastfed, followed by Idaho 94.6% and Oregon 93.2%.
Vermont is also #1 for longevity because 36.8% of moms were still breastfeeding at 6 months.

All of our designs fit true-to-size with an over-sized/relaxed fit (which compensates for extra weight and a larger chest). Our sizes are similar to maternity-wear: order your pre-baby size. If you're between sizes, size down. Typically, the best way to determine your size is to follow your pre-baby size in numbers on the chart (4/6, 8/10, etc). We realize this isn't a "one-size fits all" solution. If you aren't sure, measure your bust, waist, hips and follow the chart. If you get 3 measurements, pick the middle size.
Plus Sizes: We follow a standard U.S. plus chart. Our plus sizes range from 1X-3X. NOTE: An XXL (in misses) is a size 1X in plus sizing.
