After giving birth to her first daughter, Julie Sibthorp was confused about how to breast-feed her baby.
Looking back, she credits the staff at University Hospital with helping her learn how to properly feed Lily, now 2, for six months.
The guidance from the lactation specialists encouraged her to breast-feed the latest addition to her family - Ava, born Wednesday evening at University Hospital to Sibthorp and her husband, Jim.
"I think the fact that it was easy the first time made it easy to continue," said Sibthorp, holding her 7-pound, 1-ounce daughter Friday just before they were discharged. "The longer you breast-feed, the better it is for your baby."
University Hospital is working to be named a baby-friendly hospital, part of a three-year initiative by the World Health Organization to support and promote breast-feeding. Only 48 of the 16,000 baby-friendly hospitals worldwide are in the United States.
