BFUSA is the U.S. authority for implementing the World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund’s Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI). Hospitals achieve accreditation from this body by demonstrating commitment to unparalleled care for breastfeeding moms and their babies.

Baby-Friendly birthing centers support evidence-based bonding and the healthiest development for babies.

• Skin-to-skin contact is critical to the development of a lifelong bond between mom and her baby. We allow and encourage babies to “room in” with moms through their hospital stay - your baby will even be bathed and examined in the room with you!
• We strongly encourage moms to begin breastfeeding as soon as they and their baby are ready and able. We have internationally board-certified lactation consultants on staff, and all of our nurses are trained to help new moms work through any difficulties they experience. If breastfeeding is not possible, we are also experts in alternative feeding methods. Our first priority is to ensure that you leave our hospital confident that you can provide the very best care for your new baby.
