I wonder if someone can point me to some thorough, practical, perhaps  
example-based information on interpretation of the WHO Code as it  
applies to bottles and teats? I have had a look at IBFAN but found  
only "Feeding bottles and teats also come within the scope of the  
Code." with no elaboration.

http://www.ibfan.org/english/issue/code02.html


I am particularly interested in a solid cite for whether or not  
advertising bottles and teats separately from a breast pump is a  
clear violation. If so, how does this apply to a website selling  
bottles and teats - where is the line drawn? I'm presuming it's not a  
violation to purely sell the items (without placing advertisements  
elsewhere or having giveaways and similar promotions), but that it is  
a violation to sell the items in a such as way that it may undermine  
breastfeeding. Does this come down to subjective interpretations of  
the website text describing the item?

Many thanks

Lara Hopkins
