Hi Lactnetters,

I have been told that the United States has signed the WHO's International
Code of Marketing of  Breastmilk Subtitutes.  This is the one regarding
public advertising and free samples.  Is this true? Has the USA actually
signed this document?  If so, who actually signed it?  The President?
Unicef representative?  WHO representative?  I am a little confused with all
the abbreviations floating around (BFHI, BfHI, IBFAN,WABA, etc) that I am
not altogether sure what has been signed, approved, ignored by the US
government.
Can someone clairify for me?   Thanks!
