I pledge my support of the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. I accept no money or gifts knowingly from sources whose goals conflict with direct breastfeeding and/or are not meeting their obligations under the International Code.

I recognize direct breastfeeding as the optimal and biologically normal infant feeding method. I recommend the use of breastfeeding equipment to solve problems for the shortest time possible or in the case of unavoidable mother-infant separation. My intent is always to protect and nurture the breastfeeding relationship, restore and enhance direct breastfeeding, and assist the mother in fulfilling her breastfeeding goals. My views on breastfeeding will not interfere with a mother's preferred feeding method whether by her choice or necessity. I strive to present information on breast pumps and other equipment using science and research, without personal bias. My intent is not to market breast pumps. My goal and intent is to provide factual and scientific education on their use, safety, and support of the mother-baby breastfeeding relationship.

I use language and terms that are supported by WHO, UNICEF, and published global peer-reviewed research on birth and breastfeeding.
