One of the best sources for hospital competencies globally is the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. Baby-Friendly USA has the guidelines for becoming baby friendly, a lot of background information, and (I believe) is developing specific competencies. I suggest you contact Baby Friendly USA at tel:508-888-8044 or fax: 508-888-8050. Good Luck! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
