Labor of Love World Breastfeeding Week Celebration

JOIN US as we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by raising awareness, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding.

Lovelace Women’s Hospital (LWH) was recently re-certificated as a Baby-Friendly® designated birth facility by Baby-Friendly USA, Inc. This distinguished honor demonstrates that LWH is adhering to the highest standards of care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. These standards are built on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, a set of evidence-based practices recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for optimal infant feeding support in the precious first days of a newborn’s life.
