Milk Watch

About Milk Watch

Note:
This photo does not have any photo of bare breast or breastfeeding mothers. This group is meant to collate images related to infant formula production. So you will only find pictures of infant formula cans and advocacy posters. THERE IS NO NUDITY HERE!

Welcome. The Milkwatch group is a flickr group that collects pictures of various practices of baby milk promotions, in particular the ones violating The International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. Additionally, please see the group scope below.

This group is pro-breastfeeding, and is naturally biased against infant formula. However, we avoid pictures / reportage that is negative / condescending towards the mothers who use infant formula, because we want to be supportive to mothers and do not want to blame them. Instead, we focus as much as possible to the policy, practices, and stuff like corporate marketing.
