MSNBC reports today on Fit Pregnancy magazine’s “Best Cities in America to Have a Baby.” The magazine took into account many factors when evaluating each of 50 major U.S. cities: doctors and hospitals, doulas, midwives, birth and health risk, stroller-friendly trails and parks, affordability, and of course, breastfeeding. In fact, three of the top five cities ranked highly due to their breastfeeding success rates. According to Fit Pregnancy, the top five cities in which to have a baby are:
1. Boston, Massachusetts
2. San Francisco, California
3. Minneapolis, Minnesota
4. Portland, Oregon
5. Omaha, Nebraska
