Looking for some information, can you help me?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I swear I saw something posted on MDC (not sure which forum, I tried searching and I'm no good at it) about the best sources of nurtrition for an infant, ranked from 1-4, the 4th being formula.

I thought it was from the WHO website, but I can't seem to find it. Can any of you very knowledgeable lactivists help me find it?

TIA

Here is the citation:
World Health Organization. Global strategy on infant and young child feeding. Available at: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publication...9241562218.pdf.

Page 10 is the part you are looking for - bullet 18.

The vast majority of mothers can and should breastfeed, just as the
vast majority of infants can and should be breastfed. Only under
exceptional circumstances can a mother’s milk be considered unsuitable
for her infant. For those few health situations where infants
cannot, or should not, be breastfed, the choice of the best
alternative – expressed breast milk from an infant’s own mother,
breast milk from a healthy wet-nurse or a human-milk bank, or a
breast-milk substitute fed with a cup, which is a safer method than
a feeding bottle and teat – depends on individual circumstances.
