Staff at Baby-Friendly designated facilities don’t just get trained on infant feeding. They have to show that they know how to help.

Every nurse, doctor, and team member who supports you during your birth has to demonstrate effective hands-on helping skills—with latching, supporting skin-to-skin contact, offering respectful, nonjudgmental feeding support, and more.

✅ It’s not just “check the box” training. Staff are assessed for competency—from pregnancy to birth to going home.

You and your baby deserve care from people who are fully prepared. At a Baby-Friendly facility, that’s exactly what you get.
