Baby Friendly accreditation, whether it is for hospitals, community settings or universities, makes a significant difference to outcomes for breastfeeding. You can find out more about the different standards and accreditation processes in the links below.

Please note: The Baby Friendly Initiative has recently published new standards, which use new evidence and best practice to build on the existing standards, and which will be introduced during 2013-14. Read the standards to find out more.

If you are currently working towards Baby Friendly accreditation and wish to talk to a member of the Baby Friendly team about how the new standards may affect your planning, please contact a member of the team.
