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
