Great idea. How do we make that happen? Which are the
health care organiztions most likely to be willing to
be leaders in implementing such a policy? Anyone
on lactnet know of or work for such a place?? It has to
start with the people willing to make that kind of change
and be the leaders, then it can become trendy!

Perhaps your facility could be one of those to put
breastfeeding adovate on the board and bf policy on the
agenda.
