To MN HQ

Baby Milk Action has created a logo for adding to websites here

Would MN consider adding this logo to this website? Nestle are still breaking international advertising standards and causing the deaths of infants around the world.

nannynick - also email nestle and tell them of your intentions. Then they will be aware.

I've been doing it for years...would have loved one last kitkat ah well!

I was reading "The Politics of Breastfeeding" last night and it said Danone also flout WHO advertising regulations when it comes to formula milk. Should we be boycotting them too?

sarah from the baby milk action website:

"The World Health Assembly has adopted marketing requirements for baby foods to protect breastfeeding and to ensure breastmilk substitutes are used safely if necessary.

Nestlé is singled out for boycott action as monitoring shows it to be responsible for more violations of the requirements than any other company. The boycott helps to stop some of the specific cases of malpractice we expose and has forced some changes in policy. But Nestlé continues systematic violations in those countries which have not yet brought in independently monitored and enforced legislation implementing the marketing requirements, which is another part of our strategy for protecting infant health and mothers' rights."

I personally will try to not buy Danone products either.
