Abstract
Evaluating the availability and affordability of breastfeeding and formula-feeding supplies are critical for building food environments that support healthy infant development. This study details the development and implementation of the Infant Feeding Resource Tool (InFeed) in retail settings across Montana (n = 21). Interrater reliability was tested (n = 9), kappa 0.620. Analysis of variance found significant differences by rurality for InFeed scores, with infant feeding resources lacking in more rural Montana retail settings: Formula, p = .05 (rounded value); Equipment, p = .02; and Total, p = .03. Prices of infant feeding resources did not differ by rurality and InFeed scores did not differ by store type.Entities:
