International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes and Subsequent Resolutions
Recommendations for member states of the World Health Organization
The Code is a set of recommendations to regulate the marketing of breastmilk substitutes, feeding bottles, and teats, which aims to stop the aggressive and inappropriate marketing of breast-milk substitutes, adopted by the 34th session of the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 1981 as a minimum requirement to protect and promote appropriate infant and young child feeding. Several WHA resolutions adopted since 1981 clarify or extend issues covered in the Code.
