<<the new code is probably in your mail box as it was in mine....
  NO again NO Mention of the WHO code....>>

Did we get different postings?

The 7th line of text (opened up by clicking on the link) states:
"A crucial part of an IBCLC’s duty to protect mothers and children is 
adherence to the principles and
aim of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes and 
subsequent relevant
World Health Organization resolutions."

On the side bar is a link to FAQs (fascinating read), also found at 
http://www.iblce.org/upload/downloads/CodeOfConductFAQs.pdf:

"What does the CPC [Code of Professional Conduct] state about the WHO Code?
"As set forth in the introductory section of the CPC, IBLCE recognizes that 
a crucial part of an IBCLC’s duty
to protect mothers and children is adherence to the principles and aim of 
the International Code of
Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes hereafter referred to as the WHO Code 
and subsequent relevant
documents of the World Health Assembly. The WHO Code’s core purpose is to 
emphasize the
importance of maintaining the practice of breastfeeding, and of reviving the 
practice where it is in
decline, as a way to improve the health and nutrition of infants and young 
children. IBLCE believes this
core purpose of promoting the health of infants and children is a vitally 
important social cause and is
very supportive of the aims of the WHO Code.
"It is also important to note that IBLCE Board members and staff are 
currently expected, and have been
expected for many years, to adhere to the WHO Code."

On a different matter, the side bar also has a link called More Resources, 
which leads to many interesting documents, including the numbers of IBCLCs 
in various countries.  (This was a question from last week....FYI, 22736 
IBCLCs in 81 countries)

Best wishes
