For Black or African American women, reasons for low breastfeeding rates include not wanting to breastfeed, lack of breastfeeding information and education, having to return to work or school, lack of familial support, and being located in neighborhoods with hospitals that are less likely to implement practices that support breastfeeding [9]. Quintero et al [8] found that racial and ethnic disparities exist related to the role of breastfeeding information on breastfeeding initiation and duration.

The BFHI comprises 10 steps that aim to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding in a hospital setting [14]. Step 10 of the BFHI is about fostering the establishment of breastfeeding support groups in the community and referring breastfeeding individuals to them on discharge from the hospital or clinic [14]. Community support is essential for extending breastfeeding duration [17].

Low breastfeeding rates lead to increased health care costs and negative health outcomes. The cost of not breastfeeding in the United States was US $13 billion per year in direct medical costs and US $18 billion per year in indirect costs [7]. By enhancing breastfeeding practice, it is possible to prevent the death of 820,000 children each year, of which 87% are infants under 6 months of age [8].
The low breastfeeding rate is attributed to a lack of paternal involvement in childcare [9].

Breastfeeding is an invaluable infant feeding practice linked to reduced neonatal mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises initiating early breastfeeding, that is, within the initial hour after delivery. If breastfeeding begins more than an hour after delivery, it is referred to as a delayed initiation [1].

The benefits of breastfeeding for both the mother and baby, such as lower gastrointestinal infections in the child, more rapid maternal weight normalization after birth, and prolonged amenorrhea for the mother, are just a few examples of why physicians recommend breastfeeding for at least 6 months [1-5]. Breastfeeding rates are on the rise in the United States, with 83.2% of newborn infants being breastfed in 2019, thanks to increased education and promotion of its benefits [6].

Even though most mothers recognize the benefits of breastfeeding, they also face a complex web of factors that make breastfeeding difficult, including formal labor commitments without sufficient parental leave or breastfeeding support, and television ads promoting infant formula [5,6].

Exclusive breastfeeding (ie, breastfeeding without formula supplementation) is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for at least 6 months post partum [1]. While national breastfeeding rates have increased in the United States in recent years, racial and ethnic disparities persist [2].

Despite the growing body of knowledge regarding breastfeeding benefits for both the mother and baby [1,2] and efforts of national and international health organizations to promote and support breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain low [3]. While breastfeeding initiation rates are relatively high (>80%), use of commercial milk formula (hereafter referred to as “formula”) is high [4].

Digital communication campaigns have been leveraged to improve nutrition and physical activity (PA), increase breastfeeding and immunization rates, reduce barriers to preventive health screenings, and improve access to mental health support [14-17]. Petkovic et al [14] reported that social media interventions designed to increase PA may be effective, and social media interventions may improve overall well-being.
