Nikki,
Thank you for sharing the article!!      

I agree we have to support the Moms choice.  Always!  

 I dislike "Baby-Friendly" title....not the concept, not the education, not the empowerment and all the process to achieve.  Just the title and the message it portrays to some.  Does that mean others are UnFriendly??  As the article mentions, it is misleading.
I work in 2 hospitals neither have done the BFHI but have most of the steps in place, just not per their stiputlations.   I don't think these hospitals are Baby UNfriendly.   Both hospitals, in my opinion, are far superior  in some aspects more "baby & mom friendly".  Obviously this is not the intent of BFHI, but it can send a negative message.
