CITY, STATE ZIP
Dear NAME:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently conducted the first national assessment
of Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care, known as the mPINC Survey. We thank you for
participating in the survey; your involvement was vital to its success.
Your hospital’s participation in this national initiative reflects your commitment to continuous quality
improvement. Your hospital was one of 2,672 birth facilities that responded to the survey, comprising
82% of all hospitals and birth centers nationwide that provide maternity services. Detailed information
about the survey, including scoring, rationale, and an article describing state and national results, can be
found at www.cdc.gov/mpinc .
The enclosed Benchmark Report provides a summary of breastfeeding-related maternity care practices
and policies within your hospital, compared with other hospitals and birth centers across the country. In
addition to highlighting practices and policies on which your hospital scored well, the Benchmark Report
also indicates your hospital’s opportunities for quality improvement.
There are many strategies to improve maternity care practices and policies (visit our website at
www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding for more information). This Benchmark Report is one tool you can use to
identify specific practices and policies in your hospital that can be changed to be fully supportive of
breastfeeding.
Thank you again for your dedication to quality improvement in this critically important area of health care
delivery. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] for assistance.
Sincerely,
Laurence M. Grummer-Strawn, MPA, MA, PhD

The Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) Survey is a national survey of infant
feeding practices that provide maternity care services.
The Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation first conducted this survey for the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between August and December 2007, and again
between August and December 2009.

i Your facility’s percentile is the point below which the indicated percent of scores fall in each group. For example, if your National percentile is 50, then you are performing
better than half of all facilities nationwide. If your State percentile is 66 or 67, you are performing better than about two-thirds of the facilities in your state. If your Similar Size
percentile is 99, you are performing better than almost all other facilities nationwide with a similar number of births per year.
ii Facility size estimates are based on annual birth census as reported by the mPINC survey respondent and/or the American Hospital Association (when respondent did not
provide data).
What’s in this report?
Fake Medical Center’s results from the 2009 CDC
mPINC Survey—CDC provides this resource to help
you improve outcomes by providing the best evidencebased care to your patients.
Summary Information—Examine your Composite

your score compares to all other facilities: across the
US; in your state; and in your size category

Care Dimension Information—Learn about your
subscoresiv and percentiles in: labor and delivery
care; postpartum feeding of breastfed infants,
breastfeeding assistance, and contact between
mother and infant; staff training; and structural and

Accompanied with each score are explanations of
how and why CDC chose to measure these
particular practices.
Who responded to the mPINC Survey?
All facilities that provide intrapartum care in the United
States and Territories received the mPINC survey.
At each facility, surveys were completed by the person most
knowledgeable about the care processes and policies
involved in feeding healthy infants.
The survey response rate was 82%.
Maternity Care Practices
and Infant Feeding
A group of specific interventions has been identified
that, when implemented together as a consistent system
of care,1-3 results in better breastfeeding outcomes.4-8
Inpatient and ambulatory intrapartum care strategies
describe how infant feeding care is delivered across the
perinatal period. These strategies are designed to
reduce the incidence of events and experiences that
undermine mothers’ breastfeeding intentions and
decisions.
The key components of this care system were
identified using the best available science and evidence.
Like other clinical care models, this evidence spans a
wide range, from results of randomized trials to expert
opinion, producing a set of connected best practices
that make up a facility’s infant feeding care system.
Components of
infant feeding care
best practices
The following key clinical care processes,
policies, and staffing expectations are
appropriate for care of all perinatal
patients, unless medically contraindicated:
I. Labor and delivery care—Upon
delivery,v the newborn is placed skinto-skin with the mother, allowing
uninterrupted time for breastfeeding.
II. Postpartum care:
a. Feeding of breastfed infants—The
breastfeeding infant is only offered
pacifiers and supplements (infant
formula, water, and glucose water)
when medically indicated;
b. Breastfeeding assistance—
Assistance is offered to the
breastfeeding mother and infant using
consistent standards for supportive
patient education and assessment;
c. Contact between mother and
infant—The infant is enabled to stay
with the mother 24 hours per day,
without unnecessary separation or
restrictions.
III. Facility discharge care—The
breastfeeding mother and infant are
assured ambulatory breastfeeding
care; patient discharge gifts contain
no infant formula marketing
samples.
IV. Staff training—All staff with
primary responsibility for care of the
breastfeeding mother and infant
receive appropriate breastfeeding
skills training and assessment.
V. Structural and organizational
aspects of care delivery—Best
practices policies are implemented
for staffing, care process, and
communication expectations in
perinatal patient education and care
settings; are supportive of
breastfeeding employees; and are
free from financial conflict of
interest.

Composite Quality Practice Score is a simple average of subscores from each care dimension.

one hour of vaginal birth and within two hours of Cesarean birth.

Rationale
Separation of
mother and
newborn during
transition to

Separation during transition to postpartum care is
unnecessary for stable patients. Mother-infant contact
is important during this time to establish breastfeeding,
maintain infant weight, and improve regulation of
infants’ neurologic states.22
Patient
rooming-in
Rooming-in of mother-infant pairs increases infants’
opportunities to learn to breastfeed28 and increases
duration and quality of maternal sleep.29
Instances of

separation
Understanding the reasons mother-infant pairs are
separated30 helps identify opportunities to reduce
unnecessary separations. Bringing the infant to the
mother to breastfeed reduces chances the infant will
