Under the category "infant feeding needs" you can find Breastfeeding Supplies, Formulas and Special Feeding Needs.
Choices under Formula are:
Ross Carbohydrate Free Liquid, Pregestimil Powder, Portagen Powder, Enfalac Nutramigen Formula Powder.
I realize these are very specialized formula, but are these types of formula excluded from the WHO Code for Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes? They are just named with a picture, cost per can and list of ingrediants - no descriptive or promotional-type copy.
