The goals of this article are to describe the “Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative” implantation at the University Hospital of Northern Paraná, situated in Londrina, and point out the difficulties and advantages of this process. The methodology consisted of two inquiries based on the “Tem steps for the success of breast feeding” which were carried out before and after the “Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative” implantation at the hospital. The inquiry carried out after the implantation at the hospital showed the accomplishment of the ten steps and the significant increase of the levels of exclusive breast-feeding (6,7% to 95%). Considering that this work was developed at a school hospital, it was a great challenge for the health professional group, showing changes in behavior and breast-feeding practices, therefore, resulting in an important increase of breast-feeding levels.
