title: [From infant nurse to "baby-friendly hospital"--promotion of breast feeding in the University Women's Hospital in Leipzig].
abstract: The attitude of medical professionals towards natural infant feeding is decisive in the support of mothers who want to breastfeed. The atmosphere in a "Baby-Friendly Hospital" is determined by the creation of conditions for breastfeeding on demand and for early, undisturbed mother-child contact. At the University Women's Hospital in Leipzig the development of good breastfeeding management was supported by the employment of a "breastfeeding nurse" and enhanced by continuing education for physicians, nurses and midwives in lactation and breastfeeding. In this way comprehensive, uniform information as well as practical guidance important for breastfeeding success were ensured for pregnant and young mothers.
