2026 Infant Feeding Index
Real-world evidence for better maternal systems
Your breastfeeding
story shapes the data
that changes care.
The Infant Feeding Index collects anonymous, mother-reported experiences to build evidence for healthcare, policy, and support systems. Every response counts — whether you breastfed, combination fed, or formula fed.

Our mission
Every feeding journey deserves to be counted.
Breastfed. Formula-fed. Combination-fed. Changed plans. All of it matters. All of it belongs in this index.
Add your voice to the evidence →Why this matters
The gap between feeding intentions and reality is still invisible to most systems.
Healthcare providers, policymakers, and support services make decisions with incomplete data. The Infant Feeding Index changes that — by turning your lived experience into evidence that shapes better care.
