Member States of the World Health Organization adopted the 
International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes twenty-
five years ago with the aim to protect, promote and support 
appropriate infant and young child feeding practices. The adoption 
of the Code was a key milestone in global efforts to improve 
breastfeeding, and countries have taken action to implement and 
monitor the Code and subsequent relevant Health Assembly 
resolutions. This booklet of Frequently Asked Questions aims to 
increase awareness and understanding of how the Code can help to 
ensure that mothers and caregivers are able to make fully-informed 
choices of how best to feed their infants, free of commercial 
interest.
