I am not at my office at the moment so can't quote the part of the WHO Code on Infant Feeding but hopefully someone better informed out there can provide the information. It was my belief that there is a statement about bottlefeeding not being taught in a class but in a small group/preferably one on one. This was a tremendous bone of contention locally and for several years I did not teach the prenatal 'infant feeding' class in one community as a result. As that community is now working at becoming baby friendly (and is TRYING to interpret it as BF Community not just BF Hospital) the policy is now to teach breastfeeding in prenatal classes and bottle feeding individually by public health nurses or maternity nurses with follow up by public health as needed. It has been the experience locally that this gives a better level of understanding for the parents who choose/require to bottle feed. Am I misinterpreting the Code?
