| dc.description.abstract | The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative
(BFHI) model, was developed by the
World Health Organization (WHO) to
globally promote optimum breastfeeding
in maternity wards in line with the
International Code of Marketing of Breast
Milk Substitutes. However, in developing
countries, where many deliveries do not
occur in health facilities, the effectiveness
of the BFHI may be limited. To address
this gap in the developing countries,
the Baby Friendly Community Initiative
(BFCI) was developed to expand
on the tenth step of the BFHI which
focusses on support for breastfeeding
mothers after they leave hospital, at the
community level to promote optimal
infant and young child feeding (IYCF). | en_US |
