Article Abstract:

Staff at Queen's Park Hospital in Blackburn, England, are anxious to reverse its trend in breast-feeding, which has fallen below the national average of 63%. Queen's Park is the first UK hospital to develop a joint training initiative, approved by the World Health Organization, to educate health visitors, midwives and nurses on breast feeding. This has resulted in a co-ordinated, evidence-based approach to encouraging mothers to breast-feed. The hospital also wishes to join the Baby Friendly Initiative, launched by international organizations to promote breast-feeding.
