- Authors
Eckenrode, Jessica
- Abstract
This article will focus on how the hospital experience influences a new mother's breastfeeding and bonding experience with her baby. This article will summarize the benefits of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) that was launched in 1991 by UNICEF and WHO (Baby-Friendly USA, 2012). This article will explore the Baby Friendly hospital initiative and give insight as to why mothers and young families may choose to deliver their babies in designated centers as opposed to non-designated birthing centers. This article will summarize steps that nurses and other medical care professionals can take to encourage bonding, breastfeeding and the hospital experience for patients and their families.
