Exclusive breastfeeding rates were 18.5% at discharge, 37.2% at 1 month, and 24.6% at 6 months. Maternal, newborn, and hospital-related factors were identified as key determinants. Among maternal factors, age, ethnicity, marital status, mode of delivery, and prior breastfeeding experience predicted adherence. Higher birth weight and elevated bilirubin levels were positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding, while neonatal intensive care unit admission was negatively associated. Postpartum lactation consultation was also a significant hospital-level factor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exclusive breastfeeding rates in this underserved, immigrant population fell below national averages and declined over time.
