Breastfeeding and infant feeding in the first level of attention

Breastfeeding is one of the oldest and most useful practices for human race. It is crucial for optimal newborn development and yet the stigma built around it has proven to be devastating for its implementation over the years. For the past few decades, numerous studies have been conducted to shed light on the countless benefits of breastfeeding and to cast off the taboo around it. In 1991 the World Health Organization, together with the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, created the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) with the aim of protecting, promoting and strengthening breastfeeding in hospitals and health centers, through the implementation of 10 steps to successful breastfeeding. There are a number of requirements that must be fulfilled in order to implement this initiative. However, due to local and regional characteristics of each health care unit, a certain degree of adequacy of these steps is required for its implementation. Therefore, at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (Mexican Institute for Social Security), seven steps and three annexes have been adapted for their implementation in the first level health care units of this institution.
