<<Its a while since I posted but have been reading regularly.  What I am
looking for is a clarification of the WHO code.  Today I received a
professional nursing journal with a full page advertisement for a local
brand of infant formula. It was posted to my home address. Where I live, in
Australia, Australia is a signatory to the WHO code.>>

Marian,

You can find the Annual Report of the Advisory Panel on the Marketing in
Australia of Infant Formula here....
