Hooray, Barb! I hope you'll expand your stonewalling of the formula rep as
an editorial for JHL! Here's Item 24 of the IBCLC Code of Ethics:
"Adhere to those provisions of the International Code of Marketing of
Breast-milk Substitutes which pertain to health workers."
This item is a recent addition, perhaps because IBLCE wrongly assumed that
we all know a bribe when we see one. Now it's been spelled out for us, so
that there can be no mistake.
Folks, Barb was doing nothing more than what's *required* of her as an
IBCLC. We can be reported to IBLCE for accepting formula company perks.
