Baby-Friendly Facilities A-Z and by State

A-Z Index of Baby-Friendly facilities in the United States

Baby-Friendly designated hospitals and birthing centers are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Every hospital that attains the Baby-Friendly designation moves us closer to meeting important public health goals of increasing the proportion of live births that occur in facilities that uphold the highest standards for infant feeding care. In 2007, only 2.9% of United States births occurred in Baby-Friendly designated facilities. In 2007, less than 3% of US births occurred in approximately 60 Baby-Friendly designated facilities. In 2018, these numbers have risen to more than 25% of births in more than 500 Baby-Friendly designated facilities.

All Baby-Friendly designated facilities are listed below in alphabetical order. You can narrow the list to a specific state by selecting that state in the box below.

The year in parentheses is the time of initial designation.  A most recent re-designation period follows, if applicable.
