The Code of Ethics for IBCLCs says:  #24:  Adhere to those provisions of the
International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes which pertain to
health workers.

The ILCA Standards of Practice state:   #3.2:  practise within the scope of
the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes and
subsequent relevant resolutions, maintaining an awareness of conflict of
interest when/if profiting from the rental or sale of breastfeeding
equipment.

Good luck.
