The International Code of Marketing of Breast milk Substitutions - answer✔An international
health policy framework to regulate the marketing of breast milk substitutes in order to protect
breastfeeding. It was written in response to the marketing activities of the infant feeding industry
which were promoting formula feeding over breastfeeding, which in turn was leading to a
dramatic increase in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
What does "The Code" do? - answer✔Regulates the marketing of breast milk substitutes which
includes infant formulas and any other food or drink, together with feeding bottles, and teats,
intended for babies and young children. Sets standards for the labeling and quality of products
and for how the law should be implemented and monitored within countries. Aims to make sure
that parental choices on feeding are based on full, impartial information, rather than misleading,
inaccurate or biased marketing claims.
The Global Strategy for Infant & Young Child Feeding - answer✔Is intended as a guide for
action; it identifies interventions with a proven positive impact, it emphasizes providing mothers
and families the support they need to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly defines the
obligations and responsibilities in this regard of governments, international organizations, and
other concerned parties.
What contributes to low rates of exclusive breastfeeding globally? - answer✔Caregiver and
societal beliefs favoring mixed feedings (believing that breast milk is not enough or that babies
actions/issues are related to the breast milk/breastfeeding)
Hospital and healthcare practices and policies that are not supportive of breastfeeding
Lack of adequate skilled support
Aggressive promotion of infant formula and other breast milk substitutes rather than promoting
support for breastfeeding
Inadequate maternity and paternity leave legislation and other workplace policies
Lack of knowledge about the dangers of not exclusively breastfeeding and of proper
breastfeeding techniques
