  • Maternal and Child Health

Context:

  • Breastfeeding rates in Mexico are below global targets for 2030.
  • Current trends indicate exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) will reach 42.5% by 2030, falling short of the 70% goal.
  • Lower EBF rates are observed in women with lower parity and paid employment.

Purpose:

  • To estimate breastfeeding gaps in Mexico to achieve 2030 global nutrition targets.
  • To provide public policy recommendations for improving breastfeeding rates.
