IBFAN Asia as part of their compliance to the Indian law protecting breastfeeding releases a series titled “Breaking the Law-Undermining Breastfeeding” periodically. With increasing penetration of internet and launching of E-marketing portals people are finding online purchase of consumer products very convenient. E-marketing websites are increasingly being used by formula and infant food as well as feeding bottle companies to market their products and blatantly violating the provisions of promotion under the Indian law. This series exposes such examples of baby formula and food e-marketing.
