About us
Baby Milk Action promotes the boycott in the UK and is secretariat for the International Nestlé Boycott Committee.
With partners in the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) we monitor the baby food industry around the world. Nestlé is found to be the worst of the companies when it comes to aggressively marketing baby foods in breach of international standards and undermining breastfeeding, which is why it is singled out for boycott action.
According to UNICEF: "Marketing practices that undermine breastfeeding are potentially hazardous wherever they are pursued: in the developing world, WHO estimates that some 1.5 million children die each year because they are not adequately breastfed. These facts are not in dispute."
Yet Nestlé continues its aggressive marketing. Our work for legislation is succeeding and where this is monitored and enforced, Nestlé and other companies are forced to abide by the marketing requirements adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1981. Elsewhere we have to keep the companies under pressure through exposing malpractice and campaigns, in the case of Nestlé, the worst of the companies, through the boycott.
There are plenty of groups on Facebook where people are discussing the boycott. You can keep up to date with Baby Milk Action's information through our website and RSS newsfeeds.
We work on far more than the Nestlé boycott, so do check out the links to the sites. Our main focus is monitoring the companies against World Health Assembly marketing requirements for baby foods and campaigning for governments to implement and enforce them. These aim to protect, promote and support breastfeeding AND to ensure breastmilk substitutes are used safely if necessary.
