Mississippi ranked 4th for percentage of births at designated “Baby-Friendly” hospitals

Via CHEER:

Recently released from the CDC: Mississippi was ranked 4th in the U.S in 2020 for the percentage of births occurring at designated “Baby-Friendly” hospitals. Since CHAMPS began working in the state in 2014, the number of Baby-Friendly hospitals has increased dramatically from 0 to 22. Congratulations to all our Mississippi hospitals and partners on this noteworthy accomplishment!

https://www.cheerequity.org/news-from-cheer.html

The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative “assists hospitals in giving mothers the information, confidence, and skills necessary to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies and gives special recognition to hospitals that have done so.  In cases where patients have a medical indication or have made an informed decision to use formula, the safe preparation and feeding of formula is provided to mothers.”

We’re thrilled to see Mississippi move to number four in the United States for a percentage of births in Baby-Friendly hospitals. This shows that with committed partners working together for the benefit of the state, big health changes are possible in Mississippi.
