Résumé : | Protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding is an important public health strategy. There is international evidence that implementation of the global strategy known as the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative and accreditation of maternity facilities as ‘baby friendly’ has positively influenced breastfeeding initiation and short-term duration. In Australia, the Initiative changed its name in 2006 to demonstrate its inclusion of the community and is now known as the Baby Friendly Health Initiative (BFHI). Yet there is a wide gap between theory and practice. This Australian paper by Marjorie Atchan investigates the various ways one can reconcile principles with reality. |
