Breast milk support services are often necessary for the initiation of breast milk feeding among infants with CL ± P. However, these resources are likely not as readily available for those enrolled in Medicaid. These results suggest that infants with CL ± P, enrolled in Medicaid, may experience reduced breast milk feeding rates due to limited resources to initiate breast milk feeding. Factors that may promote breast milk feeding among this population are discussed.
