Fraction of infants breast-fed in Maine by year. The fraction never breast-fed declined while the fractions beast-fed for <8 wks and ≥8 wks increased. Healthy People 2020 has the objective of increasing the number of infants ever breast-fed to 81.9%. Maine does not currently meet this goal but is moving toward it.
