 Subject: seeking samples of hospital policies

 The hospital where I work plans to draft its first-ever "breastfeeding
 policy."  Hooray! We are advancing breastfeeding promotion in small but
 noticeable steps ....

Liz, this is a great step.  Have you thought about going to the top first by
looking at your Baby Friendly USA site or going to Baby Friendly UK, the url
for the latter is
www.babyfriendly.org.uk
it makes sense to look at what you should be basing your policy on.  I am
sure someone else will be able to give you the US site or snailmail address.
