Getting Pigeon to be Code compliant would be truly miraculous. Those of you
who are outside of Asia may not be aware just how awful and pervasive their
marketing is. I hope it goes well Marsha.

Thanks Nikki for your enthusiatic support. I needed that!!! Yes, it is so
frustrating to see months of hard work go straight down the drain, just like
others have seen in their breastfeeding endeavors. Well, it seems like I
just can't get enough of this, so here we go again. Lansinoh has approached
NABA to help it's new  line of feeding bottles become Code compliant as it
works to convince Pigeon (Lansinoh's owner) to become Code compliant. I have
been working for several months now with Lansinoh to help bring the mOmma
line of products into compliance with the Code. Once this is done, it will
be used as an example to convince Pigeon that Code compliance is part of the
obligations that a corporation has in reducing the adverse influence on
breastfeeding that certain marketing practices exert. Lansinoh is actually
working quite hard right now  to urge compliance on the part of Pigeon.
Pigeon has partially changed its marketing of feeding bottle and nipples but
is not quite done yet. So we are waiting hopefully for this to happen. Once
Pigeon completely meets its obligations under the Code and Lansinoh's new
line of bottles does the same, then we will have both comapnies in
compliance as they should be. Let's hope that this happens soon.
