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.
