Hi all,

Is there a way to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the WHO-code meant to protect either *breastfeeding* or *breastmilk feeding* (= pumping and feeding otherwise)?
Or did the Code just not really think of breastmilk feeding, because it was not as common then as it is now? Or put in a different way: are bottles in the Code because they might cause suck confusion or because they undermine the process (as opposed to undermining the product) or for different reasons or for all reasons combined? Why are the bottles justifiably in the Code? (Don't convince me... I'm with you! ;-))
We are getting deeper and deeper into the discussion and I seem to be more and more on my own and regarded a rebel, when I state the Code first and foremost, even in 1981, meant to protect, promote and support the process and that integrally respecting the Code also means standing up for the process... Is there proof for that idea in the Code itself?
Any thoughts?

Warmly,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands
