The statistic displays the results of a survey regarding the prevalence of breastfeeding in the Netherlands in 2018. The survey results show that as of 2018, the majority of mothers surveyed had breastfed or were currently breastfeeding their baby. Roughly 75 percent of survey respondents indicated that they were currently breastfeeding or had done so, while just under one quarter of women surveyed indicated that they did not breastfeed their baby.
* The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Geef je je baby nu borstvoeding, of heb je dat gedaan of geef je geen borstvoeding?" (English: "Do or did you breastfeed your baby or not?")
