From: coleb Thu Jan 11, 1996 -- 05:30:33 PM To: [log in to unmask]@ Pardon me if this has already been posted at an earlier time. I wonder if the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative step calling for all mothers to initiate breastfeeding within 30 minutes of birth has been officially altered. I have heard many people here in the US talk about this goal being changed to say that breastfeeding is initiated during the recovery period after delivery. If this has been published somewhere, I have missed it. I need this information to update my hospital's goal for the Children's Miracle Network funding that is allowing my position as the hospital LC 100% this year and hopefully continuing at 65% next year. Could anyone help me?
