A Commitment to Breastfeeding and Infant Safety
Tisch Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital鈥擝rooklyn, and NYU Langone Hospital鈥擫ong Island are designated Baby-Friendly Hospitals, a distinction awarded by Baby-Friendly USA in acknowledgment of our commitment to breastfeeding support and education.
Studies have shown that breastfeeding can reduce infant hospitalizations and pediatrician visits. Through our breastfeeding classes and support groups and our eClasses, our lactation consultants and lactation counselors provide you with the support you need to get off to a good breastfeeding start, continue breastfeeding after returning to work, and overcome any nursing challenges you face along the way.
NYU Langone receives consistent recognition for safety and quality. We are certified by The Joint Commission for excellence in advanced perinatal care, which is the time before, during, and after childbirth. In addition, all of NYU Langone鈥檚 inpatient facilities are Magnet庐 certified, which is the gold standard for nursing excellence. We also earn the highest ratings from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety grade.
As part of our commitment to infant safety, we follow and educate new and expecting parents about issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
