Description:Whether you’re a seventh grader or a state health department, no one likes to take home a disappointing report card. Often, though, report cards work as intended—by spurring concerted effort in a particular problem area, they can yield steady and noticeable improvement. That’s exactly what happened in 2008, when the New York State Department of Health found itself last among all states on an important indicator of children’s health—the percentage of breastfed infants receiving formula during their first two days. The indicator, among many others, is tracked through the annual Breastfeeding Report Card, compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of their effort to support and increase breastfeeding.
