越来越多的研究表明，母乳喂养是婴幼儿最好的营养来源，也是确保儿童健康成长发育的最有效措施之一。然而，中国发展研究基金的一项研究发现，中国婴儿出生后6个月内纯母乳喂养率仅为29%，低于世界其他国家和地区。世界银行提供的其他数据显示，1998年至2013年，中国的纯母乳喂养率有所下降，到2018年略有上升，但仍低于全球平均水平。与亚洲其他国家相比，中国的纯母乳喂养率也很低。建立完善的母乳喂养支持体系，营造对婴幼儿母亲全程支持的母乳喂养环境，是有效改善中国母乳喂养状况，保障儿童健康成长，实现中国健康2030年奋斗目标的途径。
A growing number of studies show that breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for infants and young children and one of the most effective measures to ensure the healthy growth and development of children. However, a study from the China Development Research Fund found that the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among Chinese infants within six months of birth is only 29%, a rate that is lower than that in other countries and regions of the world. Other data provided by the World Bank shows that the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in China declined from 1998 to 2013 and that it increased slightly by 2018, but it was still lower than the global average. Compared to other Asian countries, the exclusive breastfeeding rate in China is also low. Establishing a sound breastfeeding support system and creating a breastfeeding environment with full support for mothers of infants is a way to effectively improve the state of breastfeeding in China, to ensure the healthy growth of children, and to achieve the goals of Healthy China 2030.
