EVENFLO

Just wanted to say how great it is that Evenflo has started to follow the WHO code for Marketing of breastmilk substitutes.

Check out there site, no artificial nipples and bottles available online anymore!! Hopefully more company's will follow suit!!


On another note since Halloween is approaching and lots of people out there are going to be buying candy. Please try and stay away from the Nestle brands!!

Here is why if you did not see my original post:

According the the World Health Organisation Authority (WHO) 1.5 million babies die every year as a result of inappropriate feeding. Despite this Nestlé continues to push its baby milks in breach of international standards.

Monitoring by groups on the ground around the world shows Nestlé is responsible for more violations than any other company. That's why it is singled out for boycott action.

If you don't boycott Nestlé already, I ask that you consider looking at the evidence and giving up Nestlé products, or at least its principal brand, Nescafé coffee.

The boycott has forced some changes from the company, but it is still a long way from complying. Campaigners are also working for laws. Nestlé can comply when it is given no choice. It is not being asked to do something that is impossible, but without pressure it continues to put its own profits before infant health and mothers' rights.

You can find out more information and look at the evidence yourself on the Baby Milk Action website at:
