Baby Friendly Health Initiative (BFHI)

The Baby Friendly Health Initiative (BFHI) is an international project that aims to give every baby the best start in life by creating a health care environment where breastfeeding is the norm and practices known to promote the health and well being of all babies and their mothers are followed. The BFHI Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding are the global standard by which hospitals are assessed and credited. A "Baby Friendly" hospital is one where mothers' informed choice of feeding is supported, respected and encouraged. In Australia, the Australian College of Midwives administers the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative.
