Join this event launching new three-paper Lancet Series which explores how the value of breastfeeding is wasted by government and public health, and exploited by the formula milk industry.  

  • How baby behaviours are misconstrued to undermine breastfeeding, but multi-sectoral interventions protect its health impacts
  • How the formula marketing ‘playbook’ targets parents, health professionals and politicians and undermines the health and rights of children and mothers
  • How power imbalances and political and economic structures determine feeding practices, women’s rights and health outcomes.
