PROBLEM SOLVING FOR NESTLE'S MAIN CORRUPT ISSUE
- •Supporting WHO campaign in introducing complementary foods
WHO recommends that infants from 6 months of age onwards should be given supplementary foods in addition to breast milk. Initially, offer complementary foods 2-3 times daily for ages 6-8 months, and 3-4 times daily for ages 9-11 months and 12-24 months. increase times. Nestle can instructed in their pakaging for their consumer know to to be instructed in right way.
Around six months of age, an infant's energy and nutritional needs begin to exceed those of breast milk, and complementary foods are needed to meet these needs. Babies at this age are developing and ready for other foods. This transition is called complementary feeding.
If complementary foods are not introduced or improperly administered by about 6 months of age, infant growth may be stunted.
To ensure that the infant's nutritional needs are met, complementary foods should include:
Timely – means introduced when energy and nutrient needs exceed those that can be met by exclusive breastfeeding.
Adequate – means providing enough energy, protein and micronutrients to meet the nutritional needs of a growing child.
Safe – means hygienically stored and prepared and fed with clean hands and utensils, not bottles or teats.
Feed appropriately – This means meals are administered according to the child's appetite and satiety signals, and meal frequency and feeding are age-appropriate. Caregivers should play an active role in feeding the infant, including responding to the infant's hunger cues and encouraging the infant to eat.
- Nestlé policy changes
Nestlé continues to oppose Baby Milk Action's four-point plan to save baby lives and end boycotts. To date, Nestlé has not accepted the Code and Resolutions as minimum standards for all countries. Most recently, in April 2014, she said in a letter to Baby Milk Action: Nestlé refuses to align its policies and practices with the Code and Resolutions.
Usually an critical move as can remind Nestlé of its expressed bolster for breastfeeding for two a long time and past when we challenge it for undermining breastfeeding through this period with its forceful promoting of follow-on milks and growing-up milks.
There are a few in reverse steps in Nestlé approach, be that as it may. Nestlé debilitated its approach in June 2010 to say it limitations on advancing equation 'also apply to follow-up equation items which are promoted for utilization by newborn children up to 1 year of age.' Earlier to this Nestlé's arrangement connected to 'all follow-up equation items but within the uncommon occurrences where they have brand/label plan which is particularly diverse from newborn child formula.'
Nestlé presently advances follow-on equations for utilize past one year of age with precisely the same branding as the infant formula. Nestlé debilitated its policy at this time as it was being reviewed for incorporation within the FTSE4Good moral investment index. from the FTSE stock trade posting company. This flawed system assesses companies against their claim approaches instead of the Code and Resolutions. FTSE accepted its collaborative approach with Nestlé would help drive changes, but has really brought about in driving guidelines down.
- Solidarity with other nations
The boycott could be a way to appear solidarity with individuals campaigning around the world to halt Nestlé's forceful showcasing of infant nourishments in their nations.
