Thank-you Debbie

Your wall poster sounds like an excellent tool for everyone involved.

The links you sent are a great resource for this project as well as for the future.
I only found one hospital in the Indianapolis area on the list of Baby Friendly Hospitals.

If the 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding' were implemented universally moms and babies would be better off.

I also appreciate your timely and helpful responses to everyone. You are a true beacon.

This topic is really important for aspiring RNs! I hope you get to present your
findings to the rest of the class.

We're now up to 61 Baby Friendly Hospitals in the US. Check out:
http://www.babyfriendlyusa.org/eng/03.html

Worldwide it's over 15,000. See
http://www.unicef.org/programme/breastfeeding/baby.htm

To your second question: At the hospital where I work we've just created a
beautiful wall poster (currently going through copyright, so then we can offer
it to others) that describes the feeding cues mom should monitor. That way
every nurse, grandma, mom, dad, and lactation consultant are going by the
same guidelines.

If you want to read some really innovative ideas, search for what Brazil has
done to implement the Code!
