<<I have been  told by an RN at my hospital (she worked at a hospital in the
state of WA  during their time of BFHI certification) that one requirement
is private  postpartum rooms for all or most of the mothers.
True? Not true?  Explanation?>>

 
 
Only in America could this  even be a rumor.  Has anyone seen the postpartum 
WARDS in most other  countries?  And yet over 3,000 hospitals in those other 
countries are Baby  Friendly.  Only 42 in the US of A are.  No, we don't need 
private  rooms -- but we do need baby friendly staff and policies.  And that, 
in the  US of A is probably harder to come by than the private  rooms.
