Abstract
To study the impact of Baby friendly policies on lactation success, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered to mothers of babies attending the well baby clinic of an urban tertiary care Baby Friendly Hospital. The feeding practices of outborn babies was compared to inborn babies (Baby friendly hospital). No major differences were found in the duration and success of lactation among the 2 groups. More intensive efforts and public awareness is required if the ideals of a baby friendly hospital are to be met.Entities:
