WHO in 2002: "Infants who are not breastfed, for whatever reason, should receive special attention from the health and social welfare system since they constitute a risk group."

WHO: "Only under exceptional circumstances can a mothers milk be considered unsuitable for her infant. For those few health situations where infants cannot, or should not, be breastfed, the choice of the best alternative expressed breast milk from an infants own mother, breast milk from a healthy wet-nurse or a human-milk bank, or a breast-milk substitute fed with a cup, which is a safer method than a feeding bottle and teat depends on individual circumstances."

WHO in 2002: "To achieve optimal growth, development and health, infants should be EXCLUSIVELY BREASTFED FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF LIFE. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for UP TO TWO YEARS of age or beyond."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in their official 2001 statement regarding Infant And Young Child Nutrition: "Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; it is also an integral part of the reproductive process with important implications for the health of mothers."

Hate to sound like a cold hearted bitch. But what are these people doing having 8 kids average each? I know they cannot afford birth control. Can they not abstain? I have done so in the past myself when my birth control method was not available or whatever. I don't understand why poor peopl around the world cannot see the value of sacrificing an orgasm or two so that they don't create a life that will only suffer and often die? Seems very selfish to me.

AHhh, well at least we have the same main goal!
That is a good start, don't you think?
What it is specifically that you don't like about WHO's policies (just curious).

lol you´re right...

about your question: the restrictions in comercialization and advertising that it promotes (with succeed)... I saw more problems about these policies than the ones that I already mention, but the discussion will be to long for a "youtube conversation"... I did an academic article about it (taken information of peru, where 50% of the population is poor), but is in Spanish.
