Which organization is NOT part of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative?

The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global program launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to encourage and recognize hospitals and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for infant feeding.

The key organizations involved in this initiative are indeed WHO and UNICEF, which developed the framework and guidelines that hospitals follow to become 'Baby Friendly.' The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does play an important role in promoting breastfeeding and supporting maternal and child health; however, it is not one of the founding organizations directly responsible for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative itself.

Therefore, identifying the CDC as not being a part of the BFHI highlights the distinction between its supportive role in public health campaigns surrounding breastfeeding and the specific initiative led by WHO and UNICEF. Recognizing the specific roles of these organizations helps clarify the structure and responsibilities associated with global breastfeeding promotion efforts.
