Baby friendly initiative
Baby friendly initiative
The Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) is a global programme developed by UNICEF and the World Health Organisation, aimed at improving infant feeding in health care settings.
We funded the first year’s programme costs at the TMBU, which helps staff understand the best ways to encourage and support new parents to breastfeed their babies.
Taking part in this programme and achieving the accredited status will help TMBU support parents to understand the importance of providing breastmilk to pre-term or poorly babies.
