Anybody interested??? Jill -- Texas Department of Health has a program just like this, where employers can apply to be certified baby friendly. Any of our Texas DOH people on LactNet this week? If not, I'll post what I know. I have a copy of the letter and brochure they recently mailed out to thousands of Texas employers telling them about this new program. We're so progressive in Texas!
