The protection that breast-feeding affords both mother and infant against acute and chronic illness is well documented. The grassroots, public health, and governmental supports for breast-feeding have influenced changes in maternal and newborn care. History indicates that the additional influence has come in the form of governmental workshops and initiatives, professional organizations, as well as The Joint Commission. This includes the influence that the Baby-Friendly® Hospital Initiative and the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding have had on infant care throughout the years. The requirements that hospitals must follow to implement all, or some, of the Ten Steps lead to change in care that not only increases breast-feeding rates but also leads to health improvements. This article reviews how an upward trend in the adoption of Baby-Friendly practices to support breast-feeding impacts infant care.
母乳喂养对母亲和婴儿预防急慢性疾病的保护作用已有充分记录。基层、公共卫生和政府对母乳喂养的支持影响了母婴护理的变化。历史表明，额外的影响来自政府研讨会和倡议、专业组织以及联合委员会。这包括多年来“爱婴医院倡议”和“成功母乳喂养十步骤”对婴儿护理的影响。医院实施全部或部分“十步骤”必须遵循的要求导致护理方式发生变化，这不仅提高了母乳喂养率，还改善了健康状况。本文回顾了支持母乳喂养的爱婴实践采用率的上升趋势如何影响婴儿护理。
