UNICEF in the UK has a seven point Baby Friendly community programme, Ruth.

We have exactly the same issues here.

You can bump up your initiation rate and bf on discharge,  but it
leads to a lot of heartaches and disappointment when bf is not
sustained because of poor support outside the hospital, with
incorrect and conflicting info.

You can see info about this UK programme here: http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk
