Further to my recent posting on this topic which highlighted a recent paper in BMJ Global Health (linked again here https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/2/e008002.full ) on advertising of breast milk substitutes in medical journals, the lead author Catherine Pereira-Kotze has been interviewed about the paper by a South African broadcaster.
Catherine is happy for the interview to be shared and I think it makes very valuable listening as she responds appropriately to critical questions about a mother's right to choose how she feeds her baby.
