Baby Friendly Initiative Hospital Experience

I delivered Melody at Madison Hospital in Madison, AL.  Madison Hospital is currently pursuing the "Baby Friendly" designation.  The practice that I use only delivers at two hospitals locally.  Both hospitals are pursuing this designation.  We did tour both hospitals, and we were made aware of the hospitals goals at achieving this rare designation.  During our tours, we really were not that concerned with this.  One reason being that we had no choice.  With both hospitals doing this, it really had no impact on which hospital we decided to deliver Melody in.  The second reason is honestly, we did not realize the impact this would have on us (more about that below).
