The Connecticut Breastfeeding coalition recently ran a grant based program to help 10 hosptial statewide on the way to baby friendly. The grant included teaching the 2 day class to the staff of the participating hospitals.  I had also read somewhere (will have to look to see if I can find the actual source) that the CDC was setting aside money to encourage hospitals to be BF,  I would assume a good portion of that would go torwards education.  You want to contact babyfriendlyusa. org, for specifics.  Good luck.  It really makes a HUGE difference
