BABY-FRIENDLY HOSPITALS


Picture
Baby-Friendly USA, Inc. (BFUSA) is the accrediting body and national authority for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) in the United States. In this capacity, BFUSA is responsible for coordinating and conducting all activities necessary to confer the prestigious Baby-Friendly® designation and to ensure the widespread adoption of the BFHI in the United States. We do this by:
  1. Refining and upholding the standards/criteria for successfully implementing the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding in the US;
  2. Assessing and accrediting birthing facilities that meet those standards and follow the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes; and
  3. Generating widespread understanding of and enthusiasm for best practice infant feeding care.
