Baby-Friendly Hospitals
Baby-Friendly Hospitals are dedicated to supporting mothers and newborns by promoting breastfeeding and fostering early bonding. These hospitals follow specific guidelines designed to help mothers initiate breastfeeding, offer lactation support, and encourage skin-to-skin contact to ensure the best start for babies.
