The Women’s Hospital is seeking the Baby-Friendly Hospital designation. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global program which follows evidence-based maternity care practices for infant nutrition and mother/baby bonding. The goal of Baby-Friendly is to help breastfeeding mothers reach their infant nutrition goals, thus increasing breastfeeding initiation and duration rates.
By following the 10 steps outlined by the BFHI, a hospital is removing the barriers to breastfeeding within the health care setting and in turn supporting both mom and baby.
The purpose of this show is to highlight the beauty of mother/baby bonding in the first few days following birth.
