Hi, Peggy

This topic is really important for aspiring RNs!  I hope you get to present your 
findings to the rest of the class.

We're now up to 61 Baby Friendly Hospitals in the US.  Check out: 
http://www.babyfriendlyusa.org/eng/03.html 

Worldwide it's over 15,000.  See 
http://www.unicef.org/programme/breastfeeding/baby.htm

To your second question: At the hospital where I work we've just created a 
beautiful wall poster (currently going through copyright, so then we can offer 
it to others) that describes the feeding cues mom should monitor.  That way 
every nurse, grandma, mom, dad, and lactation consultant are going by the 
same guidelines.

If you want to read some really innovative ideas, search for what Brazil has 
done to implement the Code!
