These facilities provide an environment that supports breastfeeding while respecting every woman鈥檚 right to make the best decision for herself and her family.
鈥淭his recognition underscores our dedication to promoting breastfeeding, fostering bonding between parents and babies, and ensuring all families receive compassionate, evidence-based care from the moment their 人妻中出视频 is born,鈥 said Elizabeth Kirts, MPH, IBCLC, manager of women and 人妻中出视频ren鈥檚 patient services for U of U 人妻中出视频. 鈥淎chieving this designation repeatedly reflects our unwavering commitment to the long-term health and well-being of Utah's families."
