Have just finished a Lactnet catch-up marathon! Re recent querires about the International Code. INFACT Canada carries a number of publications on the Code. Protecting Infant Health - A Health Worker's Guide to the Code is an excellent publication that contains not only the full text of the Code and subsequent resolutions, but clear non-legalese explanations of many of the clauses including why they were included and how they are violated and circumvented. It sells for $6 (plus shipping and Cdn taxes) The Code Handbook, by Ellen J. Sokol, published by IBFAN in collaboration with the International Code Documentation Centre, is much more detailed. It is 361 pages, designed to be an aid to governments to develop measures to implement the International Code. It includes history, background, marketing, scope, promotion to the public, model laws, and appendices including national measures in individual countries. It costs $65 (plus shipping and Cdn taxes). For details on INFACT resources, see our website at www.infactcanada.ca One reason for being more behind than usual on Lactnet has been the recent news conference held by INFACT Canada on the release of the IBFAN report, Breaking the Rules. This report surveys Code compliance in 39 countries and documents violations. At present INFACT has only limited copies available but more are expected soon. If there is interest I will post the IBFAN news release. Coverage has been excellent - a CP story was circulation across Canada, and Elisabeth Sterken (INFACT's national director) gave a wonderful interview on CBC's As it Happens, also aired on National Public Radio. Elisabeth and Jack Newman (INFACT's chairperson) appeared on Doctor on Call (mentioned previously by Janet Van den Berg) and Ontario Lactnuts might want to check out Michele Landsberg's column on page 2 of today's Toronto Star.
