Is anyone at a Children's Hospital and trying to become "Baby-friendly?"  The current baby-friendly guidelines are targeted towards delivery hospitals and birthing centers.  There is interest in creating "Baby-friendly" steps that are more appropriate for pediatric hospitals, but I just wanted to see what is out there right now if anything.  Loma Linda University Children's Hospital claims to be "Baby-friendly" and I would love to touch base with them to see what they used or how they adopted the current "10 Steps" to a pediatric population.

Years ago, there was an RN who made a list of the "10 Steps to becoming Baby-Friendly in a Pediatric Practice."  Does anyone remember this or who wrote this?

Thanks for any help out there!
