Abstract
National breastfeeding (direct breastfeeding and/or provision of pumped breast milk) rates among preterm infants are unclear. We report rates of breastfeeding initiation and continuation at 12 weeks after birth by gestational age category from a nationally representative survey between 2009 and 2019. Breastfeeding rates were lowest among infants born late preterm compared with other gestational age categories.
