The WHO (World Health Organization) has developed the Baby Friendly
Hospital initiative, which encourages facilities to become baby friendly. They have developed a set of guidelines called the "10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding" (or something like that). In addition to the other ideas above, this might be a place to look into.

Also, check out the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine website at http://www.bfmed.org
They have a collection of evidence-based breastfeeding-related protocols to download.

Currently I am reviewing our breastfeeding care and have noted a serious woefulness regarding our lack of policies. In truth, we have just one policy that addresses breast care. Any ideas where I might easily find policies regarding breastfeeding? Even a topical list might be helpful. (aarrgg!)
BTW: I do realize that policies won't create advocacy . . . .
