Congratulations OBH Brookdale Hospital
we are an official
“Baby Friendly Designation”
OBH Brookdale underwent a 6 year intense assessment & completion of a Corrective Action Project.
Brookdale Hospital successfully implemented the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and is compliant with the International Code of Marketing of Breast milk Substitutes.
Achievement of the Baby-Friendly Designation is not an easy task.
The U.S Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria are based on the Global Criteria for the WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly hospital Initiative. These Criteria are challenging, as they are designed to set the standards for the best possible breastfeeding and support for mother and infant in the maternity setting.
