Integrity in Breastfeeding & Lactation
Feb 27, 2018
No updates to provide to you, unless someone has heard from LLLI or ABM. We are keeping the petition open for now: continue sharing it so that this issue isn't allowed to sink into the shadows. There is something that you can also do right now. A petition has been launched asking Bliss, a UK charity for sick and premature infants, to withdraw their decision to accept funding from Nutricia (a Danone-owned formula maker) and commit to the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and all subsequent WHA resolutions. The Board of Trustees is meeting to consider the decision on March 1 and they need to hear from us: https://www.change.org/p/bliss-reject-nutricia-danone-funding-for-health-care-education In the meantime, several reports have been issued this week on the on-going predatory marketing of human milk substitutes under the hashtag #dontpushit - please read and share.
