� Infant who do not breastfeed are nearly 5 times more likely to be hospitalized in their 1st year due to gastroenteritis & respiratory illnesses(Paricio Talayero. Full breastfeeding & hospitalization as a result of infections in the 1st year of life.

Pediatrics 118, e92-299,2006.)

Role of Maternity Services” set out “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding”

; formed the foundation of “Baby-friendly Hospital
