As the Vice President of Baby-Friendly USA, I feel compelled to comment.
What many people miss is that achieving Baby-Friendly(TM) status is a
process, not an isolated event. One can certainly start the process
preparing for the award. At least in my experience, few, if any, of the
hospitals have been lily-white when they start. But they start. That's the
important thing.
