It's my understanding that Boston Medical Center is the newest BFHI
hospital in the USA. Contact Anne Merewood there, or on Lactnet. She was
one of the driving forces that brought about the change. But I just checked
out their web site & there is NO mention anywhere of BFHI, of a BF /
Lactation Clinic, that I could find. Here is their contact info. There was
some discussion of this in Lactnet Archives. Search: BFHI and Boston
between March & Dec 2001.
