Hi Eleanor,

That's interesting. So have organisations continued assisting Medela with
the marketing of their products in NZ (ie sponsorships/advertisements)
because they are not breaching the Code in NZ??

We're in a bit of a cleft stick here in NZ. Medela NZ (managed by Fisher &
Paykel Healthcare) have been very careful/good. They do not break the code
with their products here at all, not a single picture of a teat with any
bottle, all bottles as part of the breastpumps, no teats sold.

Apparently NZ Medela has been put under considerable pressure to 'conform'
with the parent company, but they know they will lose a heck of a lot of
business if they were to break the code here. We all know what they do
overseas though....
