About

This report shares data on nutrition for children age 5 and younger in the U.S. It covers breastfeeding rates, when babies start solid foods, healthy eating habits, and if families can afford nutritious food. Key findings show many children do not get enough vegetables or breast milk for a full year, and over half drink sugary drinks weekly. The report also shows differences between states in supporting healthy nutrition through policies and programs to help young children grow up healthy.
