The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative is based on the "10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding". Here's a "handy" way to remember and share the 10 steps.

The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to encourage and recognize hospitals and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for infant feeding. The BFHI assists hospitals in giving mothers the information, confidence, and skills needed to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies or feeding formula safely, and gives special recognition to hospitals that have done so.
The Breastfeeding Task Force of Greater Los Angeles is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of infants and families through education, outreach and advocacy to protect and support breastfeeding.
Christine Gibson is the Program Manager of Policy and Legislation with the Breastfeeding Task Force of Greater Los Angeles.
