I still respectfully disagree. It is not a code violation to sell human milk substitutes or the means to feed those to infants. It is the marketing *with extras* that is (offering discount, presents, special offers, glorifying the use of the product, etc.). Notifying that something is for sale is the same as to display the products on a shop shelf, like all groceries do with formula. Are all these groceries offending the Code?

Warmly,

This is marketing directly to the consumer of products that are covered within the scope of the Code. Even though breast pumps are not within the scope, bottles and nipples certainly are and Medela is now a bottle/nipple manufacturer/distributor. Supporting statements about breastfeeding do not absolve the violation.
