Nutrition
Continued collaboration needed to reduce breastfeeding disparities and meet Healthy People 2030 goals
Breastmilk is the best source of nutrition for most infants and has important health benefits. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continued breastfeeding until 2 years or beyond. Healthy People 2030 (HP2030), a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services initiative, sets national health targets. These include increasing the proportion of infants:  Exclusively breastfeeding through 6 months of age (target: 42.4%).Receiving any breastmilk at 1 year (target: 54.1%).
A recent CDC-led study assessed the gains needed to achieve national HP2030 targets among different sociodemographic groups. Nationally, a gain of roughly 17 percentage points was needed to meet each HP2030 target among children born between 2019 and 2020.


No sociodemographic subgroup reached the HP2030 breastfeeding targets. The gains needed to achieve them ranged widely. Subgroups needing gains of more than 20 percentage points to meet targets included:Non-Hispanic Black children.Participants of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).Children with household incomes less than 100% federal poverty level.Children with unmarried parents.Children with mothers without any college.Children with mothers aged less than 30 years.
Federal and local partners need to continue to collaborate to reduce disparities and help achieve the HP2030 national breastfeeding targets.

ObesityEditorial: Scale proven Family Healthy Weight Programs so all U.S. children grow up healthy and strong
Many children and families in the United States still have trouble getting affordable, effective, and safe help for preventing and treating obesity. In 2023, the American Academy of Pediatrics released its first Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for evaluating and treating obesity in children. The guideline helped raise awareness about effective ways to address this issue. 















An editorial by CDC authors outlines how to spread and scale ways to support healthy childhood growth. CDC has supported adapting and packaging existing, effective Family Healthy Weight Programs (FHWPs) that deliver CPG-recommended intensive behavioral treatment for kids. CDC and other national partners are working to bring these research-tested FHWPs into public health practice. This involves implementing FHWPs in more than 60 communities across the United States and making improvements to infrastructure at a national level.
