> <P>Thank you for your feedback/opinion. Firstly:- I am associated with
> breastfedplanet. This is a "yellow page" directory for breastfeeding women
> worldwide to access rental stations/breastfeeding services etc. It is
> intended to fill a need to assist mothers...sorry you don't see the value
> in it.....seemed like a good idea...Not sponsored by any company.
> This has nothing to do with the WHO code. The reason I asked about the
> Code violators is because I am working in a hospital that we are in the
> process of making "Baby Friendly". I am researching the code and
> guidelines etc. ILCA is a governing body that sets the standard for
> lactation consultants and other professionals in the field. That is a
> totally different issue all together- apples and oranges. I feel
> attacked by you for simply addressing the issue- which is surprising-
> aren't we all on the same side??? </P>
> <DIV></DIV>
> <P>I personally feel that the code has not addressed the fact that in some
> cultures women do prolong breastfeeding after returning to work- by
> pumping and bottlefeeding their expressed milk. Maybe as a body of
> professionals we can all work together in making a change in the Code and
> then maybe the marketing of these products will be monitored
> accordingly. Just my humble opinion. Please email me privately next
> time.</P>

>
> I may be in danger of getting bombarded with rotten tomatoes,
> but.......Bottles are not a four letter word in our breastfeeding center.
> After my visit with Chloe Fisher last summer, where I learned that babies
> can get bottles and continue breastfeeding, if you use the correct bottle
> and technique, Avent has become my bottle of choice in cases where we are
> in
> the process of feeding the baby breast milk and correcting the
> breastfeeding. The Avent bottle has a wide base and relatively long teat.
> I wish they would use softer material). I prefer the " very slow flow",
> if
> the mom does not have an overactive MER.
> Not all moms are willing to cup and finger feed, and this gives them an
> option which they can handle. In nearly all cases, the babies eventually
> get back to the breast.
>
> BUT, Avent does violate the code, at least here in Israel. At almost
> every
> bus stop there are huge ads showing a very cute baby and his Avent bottle.
> All the other violations that Francoisse mentioned exist here also.
