Not only did we have a "how to" presentation by Cindy Turner-Maffei, MA, IBCLC on the Baby Friendly Initiative; we also heard from Alison Holmes, MD on the NH BFHI Statewide Initiative.
As of May 17, 2010 there are 92 US Baby-Friendly Hospitals and Birth Centers. New Hampshire currently has 3 hospitals with the Baby Friendly designation (Alice Peck Day Hospital - Lebanon; Concord Hospital - Concord; and St. Joseph Hospital - Nashua)
In addition, Kathleen Marinelli, MD, IBCLC, FABM, FAAP - Director, New England Mother's Milk Bank (www.milkbankne.org) presented on "The Use of Pasteurized Donor Human Milk in 2010". Our congratulations go to the hard working group that made the recent opening of the NEMMB a reality!

See you next year at our 22nd Annual NHBFTF Conference!
