And why not start with the simplest?  Step Ten.  Become a place where women
who are already nursing successfully can get together weekly or monthly, and
encourage women to go prenatally as well.  By exposing pregnant women to
successful nursing mothers, the hospital will make its own job much easier
when those women deliver.  And starting a group like that doesn't require
expertise or money or rewriting any policies.  If there's a local LLL or
related group, it's easier yet!
