IBFAN Code training and the expansion of the UNICEF
Baby--Friendly Hospital Initiative have facilitated
the growth of groups and networks for the support
and protection of breastfeeding. Many new IBFAN
groups have evolved with the help and support of
IBFAN Europe.
One such group is the Moscow Breastfeeding Support
Group organized in November 1998. This mother to
mother support group formed with a nucleus of twelve
mothers, has assisted over 500 new mothers during
its first year. The leaders of the group received
some training and are now public breastfeeding advisors.
The group welcomes communication with other breastfeeding
advocacy groups, and contact may be made through:
