Unfortunately, In the USA the vast majority of hospitals are not Baby
Friendly, and IBCLCs on staff fight an uphill battle. With the best will in

working in a hospital."

 

Good morning, everyone,

A book with a very pertinent section on the advent of the clock into
maternity care is the one by Fiona Dykes, Breastfeeding in Hospital:
Mothers, Midwives and the Production Line. Although a British book, it will
resonate with readers in other countries.
