World Health Organisation.  It's in several places, and has several
different versions, which is why you are finding it hard.  It's
wet-nursing that moves about on the versions, and you end up with either
4, or 5, depending on whether or not wet nursing is placed side by side
with expressed milk, or it's own category, or is skipped altogether.
The key to finding it is 'infant feeding in emergencies'.

They've changed the site since I bookmarked them - I'll see if I can
find them now... but it is in the archives here, as I've posted them prior.

Okay, here's a new one to me - Infant Feeding in Emergencies, from
Europe, based on the WHO stuff, and on the WHO site:

http://www.euro.who.int/document/e56303.pdf     page 38    Wet-nursing
absent.

This is the original document, in which wet-nursing is present, but they
don't list out, you need to make your own list form the various sections
of text:

http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2004/9241546069.pdf       Read across two
sections - breastfeeding and artificial breast milk feeding

The list itself, if you compile it, is..

1)  Mother's milk at the breast   (Re-lactation the preferred option in
some of the sources)

2)  Mother's milk expressed and then fed otherwise

3)  Donated expressed human milk (or wet nurse)

4)  properly prepared artificial breast milk substitute

5)   raw animal milk

I have to say the re-vamping of the WHO site, and the branding
everything 'infant feeding' in documents, as opposed to 'breastfeeding'
makes it very hard to find stuff now...

This is a nice summary, but this one is missing the raw animal milk...

http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2004/9241546069_summary.pdf

Like I said, it's a bit of a nightmare stitching it together, from all
the scattered sources...

Very interesting that re-lactation is highly prominent in the later
ones... wonder who that is down too...? ;-)
