Subject: Re: Normalcy of formula discussion inhibiting breastfeeding

 

Susan,

You might find some good information from the fact sheets available =
through INFACT.

http://www.infactcanada.ca/FactSheets.htm

See especially "Breastfeeding Protection and International Code", =
"Information on Global Strategy", and "What you need to know about the =
International Code."

 

I remember reading a WHO document titled something like "In defense of = the
Code" or "Justification for the Code" or something like that, and = now I
can't find it.  If anyone remembers how to find that document, = perhaps you
would post it to the group.  The document included = references, if I'm not
mistaken.

 

Good luck in your work.

      So are there any studies out there showing the

   normalization of formula has a detrimental effect on breastfeeding =
initiation rates?  I'm sure the companies have it.  However, I don't = know
if they would give it to me.

 

  Thanks in advance,
