There is a lot of information being shared from around the world about COVID-19 and infant feeding practices. We will try to provide links that can help you with providing information to clients and colleagues. As we are a company that meets its obligations under the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes we will not provide links that violate the International Code. We will also try to provide links to information in other languages.
