Do Aust'n health professionals get guidance from their prof associations wrt their obligations under the I'national Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes? In 2021, the ACCC determined they do, so we set out to find out for sure.

To demonstrate my point - here is a collection of media headings from the last week. If you have seen any that are the counterpoint aside from Clare's (above) I'd love to hear about them 🙏

Overnight, the member nations of the World Health Assembly moved to regulate the digital marketing of commercial milk formulas and baby foods. www.who.int/news/item/26...

It was a priveledge also to be asked to speak on the topic of infant formula regulation - that we could also think of as 'breastfeeding protection'. Joined by Australian Breastfeeding Association, WBTiAUS and other colleagues was a positive robust discussion

Disappointing to see a Nurse ‘free’ Prof Devt module on ‘Mixed Feeding’ sponsored by #Nutricia. With enrollment details being provided to sponsor and course materials being provided by sponsor. #haloeffect

Today the ACCC has denied the continued authorization of the voluntary self regulation of infant formula in Australia. This is the culmination of many years of advocacy and excellent work of the ACCC. www.accc.gov.au/public-regis...

Wow soft drink industry pushing the factoid boundaries in this one!

Excellent article in the Sydney Morning Herald today. Australian health experts call out toddler milks as unhealthy but the Australian Gov provides support to the formula industry to peddle their product in low and middle income countries. archive.md/2024.12.13-1...
