HIV and Infant Feeding: Framework for Priority Action.

New Delhi, July 31: Baby food giants Heinz, Nestle and Abbott have been blatantly violating the IMS Act, (Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution Act, 1992) and Amendment Act 2003 and misleading mothers and undermining breastfeeding and natural family foods, according to the Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI) / International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN Asia).

They met to review the substantial body of new evidence and experience regarding HIV and infant feeding that has been accumulating since a previous technical consultation in October 2000, and since the Glion and Abuja calls to action on the prevention of mother - to - child transmission of HIV.

Infant Formula Explained, the new DVD from Baby Milk Action with Mark - It TV and the Baby Feeding Law Group, aims to equip health workers with the information they need to answer these questions and others.

The purpose of this Framework is to provide guidance to governments on key priority actions, related to infant and young child feeding, that cover the special circumstances associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Patty Rundall, of the British Baby Milk Action, a group that advocates for breastfeeding, and who also represents the Baby Feeding Law Group, which advocates for laws controlling marketing of infant formulas, sends this most interesting article from The Independent about the latest efforts by Nestlé (really, no relation) to prevent the UK Health Department from enforcing marketing restrictions on infant formulas.

They serve as a basis for action and are intended to clarify that optimal practices for feeding infants and young children during emergencies are essentially the same as those that apply in other, more stable conditions.

The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, the HIV and Infant Feeding: Framework for Priority Actions, mother to mother support and lactation specialists are all important components and programs to support the UNICEF Medium Term Strategic Plan (MTSP) 2006 - 2009.
