WHO compliance?

[bbrandonsmom]

Is there a list to see what brands are in non compliance with WHO regarding breastfeeding? I know there was a discussion about Medela a bit ago and when I was in the store the other day, I saw that Avent sells formula stuff. Some thing that you store formula in and it portions out the correct amount or something. I thought they were strictly bf stuff. I guess not. I was surprised.

I don't know about that, but I do know that when Ameda joined forces with Evenflo, they have done a lot to become WHO compliant.

I know that Avent has run several ads along the lines of "whether you breastfeed, formula feed, or combine the both" which certainly makes them not Code-compliant.
You should be able to get a list of current Code violations from IBFAN. (E. g. right now, they cover the "Medela incident" on an attached document.)

Here's a list of some code violators.

And now what? I've already tried to avoid "our favorite enemy" as good as I can but it sounds as if the yogurt maker is gonna make a re-appearance out of some cellars???
Be warned though - have you ever been to your grocery store with a "NOT-shopping list" in your hands? It seems that those MNC are all related. Try to avoid Nestlé and you are all of a sudden dealing with at least 10 brands (depending on your family's habits). That was my experience in Germany and I am not a "buy-any-crap-there-is" kind of shopper.
