The International Code: Is It Still Relevant in an Information Age? {Part 1}	Posted on March 12, 2013	by lactationmatters We are proud to present the first of two blog posts about the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. This document is vital to our work and is a critical piece of advocacy for the families we serve. Today’s post is a “WHO Code 101″, highlighting the history and the basics of the Code. We will follow up with our next blog post which discusses how our interpretations and applications of the Code have to change with the advent of new styles of marketing, including in the use of social media.

Stacie says:	May 6, 2013 at 2:26 pm	So formula companies aren’t suppose to give out free formula samples to moms? What about the 4 containers of Enfamil I got in a “Welcome Baby” package in the mail? Isn’t that in direct violation of the code or am I confused?
Reply	lactationmatters says:	May 6, 2013 at 2:38 pm	Yes, Stacie. You are EXACTLY right! This kind of marketing is in direct violation of the WHO Code. We’d love to have you join the Friends of the WHO Code group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/friendsofthewhocode/ as we work to combat these!
