Please note that for the gold standard of breastfeeding care, there is a worldwide organization, and national authority called the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and, in the United States, Baby-Friendly USA. (BFUSA).
"BFUSA, as our accrediting body and national authority, is responsible for coordinating and conducting all activities necessary to confer the prestigious Baby-Friendly® designation and ensure the Highest Standards of Infant Feeding Care to US hospitals."
