Dear all, I should tell you that WellStart, INt. and the US Committee for UNICEF (thank you to our dear friends in both places) are committed to Baby Friendly in the US, and are hoping to be able to start assessments of hospitals who currently have Certificates of Intent and feel they are ready to be assessed for BFHI, by June or July of this year. Maybe, just maybe, our first baby-friendly hospital(s) in the US can be announced by World Bf Week. Keep our lactnetting fingers crossed for them all (but not so crossed that you can't net!) My next to last overhead during the presentation was that since the BFHI was the "gold standard" we should all, GO FOR THE GOLD! Jan Barger
