Baby Milk - is this fair?
Went to tesco's ealier and bought Jacks milk. Looking through reciept and we didn't get clubcard points for his milk. I know they say breast is best and all that but I think that entirtely depends on your own personal choices. There are many different reasons why women cant/wont breastfeed and thats up to them.
I breastfed Kelsie until she was 12 weeks old and had to stop due to PND. If I hadn't of done I don't think Dave and I would be together today, and not sure I'd even still be around (
Supposing I died, Dave would have children that means he obviously can't breastfeed? Or if I had my breasts removed for whatever reasons I again wouldn't be able to feed.
I can't help but think that, that is really unfair. Boots is like it too.
Sorry for rant girlies!!

Or some women breast and formula feed so it can affect most people, I know its only points but when you weigh up over the year how much milk you buy its bloody loads!!

It drives me mad how the government think that by banning adverts, putting little writing at the bottom of adverts for follow on milk and banning offers it will stop people from breastfeeding. I tried to breast feed but after my baby screamed for 6 hrs solid in hospital becasue she couldnt latch on and the midwife said it was because she 'is just an awkward baby' and left me alone i didnt know what else to do but formula feed. i can assure you i wasnt swayed by the price or possible clubcard points (erm cos breastmilk is free!) I also cant believe that baby formula is treated the same as cigarettes!!! Its treated worse than alcohol cos you can get offers and adverts for that.
I use the follow on milk which is good cos you do get points and sometimes money off coupons! xx
