About this listen
HeHe and Meagan dive further into the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative defining what it means to be a Breastfeeding Friendly Hospital.
A Breastfeeding Friendly Hospital strives to achieve the WHO-UNICEF “Ten Steps of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative” to promote successful breastfeeding: (This is #10 on the MFCI).
Breastfeeding support is not guaranteed to be readily accessible and finding unbiased care for breastfeeding and nursing can be SO hard!
You’re likely to face pressure to give your baby formula--you don’t have to and that is not considered Breastfeeding friendly, even when guised as such! According to the WHO, Formula companies aren't supposed to be advertised or promoted by medical professionals--so why is this happening so rampantly in the hospitals?
