Mention in blog of Plumpynut being used for babies who are malnourished - a Breastmilk substitute and hence covered by the Code of the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes?:
'Speaking of vitamins, there is a malnutrition issue in many of these communities with babies. Babies who can’t breastfeed — because the mother died in birth, her milk didn’t come in, she’s HIV-positive and doesn’t want to feed the baby her milk, or the baby is lactose intolerant and can’t keep the milk down — die quickly. There is Plumpynut available for those who bring their children to the malnutrition feeding centers. This is a healthy baby being weighed.'
