Abstract
The Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative for Neonatal Wards (Neo-BFHI) is an expansion of the WHO/UNICEF Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding to address the needs of infants and families in all levels of neonatal care. The Neo-BFHI includes Three Guiding Principles as basic tenets, Ten Steps to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding closely following the original Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative, and adherence to the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. In 2020, the WHO/UNICEF published recommendations for breastfeeding small, sick and preterm newborns that aligns with the Neo-BFHI. CONCLUSION: This mini review provides a brief description of the content in the Neo-BFHI.
