When was the baby friendly initative introduced?

The Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI) was introduced in 1991 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. Its aim is to promote breastfeeding and improve infant nutrition by encouraging hospitals and health facilities to adopt practices that support breastfeeding. The initiative is based on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, which provide guidelines for creating a supportive environment for mothers and babies.
