*NO MORE MILK SCANDALS
SUPPORT WOMEN TO BREASTFEED*
Thousands of babies fell seriously ill in China because the milk they
drank was contaminated with melamine. Some even died. These babies were
not breastfed because

* baby milk companies convinced parents that their products were better
than breastmilk
* women lacked adequate support to breastfeed their babies at the work
place
* women lacked correct information about infant feeding

Growing evidence points out how vital breastfeeding is to infant
survival with health. *Women are being forced to stop breastfeeding and
give their babies infant milk powders because of lack of facilities and
support to women to breastfeed and increasing commercial interference in
infant feeding.*

Potential disasters are waiting to happen across the world.

We'll deliver our call to world leaders* to implement the International
Code for Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and ensure breastfeeding
friendly workplaces for women* first at the *Meeting of the Executive
Committee of the World Health Organisation* in the 3rd week of January
2009 and then at the *World Health Assembly* in May 2009

*RAISE YOUR VOICE TO SUPPORT WOMEN TO BREASTFEED. *
*Sign the petition now…*
