Marianne,
The Medela website is not a shop, you cannot buy direct from them. It's pure
marketing, it is a breach of the code. And yes, in the US they have
distributed brochure advertising their bottles and teats targeted at
mothers.
The people who decide if something is a code violation are the International
Code Documentation Centre in Penang Malaysia. They have siad that this
marketing is a breach.

Hi all,
I'm still pondering about the whole issue: what is the difference, like
Gonneke said, about ABM or bottles with teats being on a supermarket shelve
and mothers going to that supermarket to buy it, and bottles with teats
being on a digital shelve and mothers going to that digital shelve to buy
it? Why is the second considered a violation and the first one not? Medela
doesn't send brochures to pregnant mothers, do they? I was told they also
don't show bottles and teats in their stand during symposia and congresses
and indeed, I never saw the controversial items.
