Heinz Farley's Baby Milk Discontinued!

Hell_Dans_Un_Handcart

Formula companies are interested in money, not babies. It's quite awful to to do this and not make it quite clear what they are doing; a change of formula can cause stomach upsets in younger infants.

This kind of behaviour reinforces my belief more than ever that we should go toward Sweden, where formula is available on prescription only. This means no adverts that give false impressions/information and it completely swipes away the power from the companies price-wise, because you wouldn't be paying for the milk at all! Mothers would get far more support with breastfeeding in the first place and babies who did require formula would be prescribed one most likely to fit their needs.

Don't you wonder why it was so cheap ? It's a load of cheap rubbish.
If you're going to bottle feed at least give the poor thing something decent to drink.

They can have normal cows milk from six months .

They can only have cow's milk in cooking from six months. It can't be given as a drink until a year old, due to low iron content.

no problem any time.

however moaning about something, that i'm pretty sure that MSE doesn't own is pretty pointless.

i think Heinz are allowed to charge whatever they want for their product unless there's a new law out there that just affects baby milk???

if you don't like it, don't buy it, no ones forcing you.

If you can read other posts, you would notice that parents are concerned about changing formula types because it can upset an infant's stomach. It's not a simple case of switching to another brand.

cb i think u will find that all mothers on here know that breast is best. if only it was that simple. i fell bad enough about not being able to breastfeed
my baby wihthout u laying a guilt trip on. she is tonguetied and and i was very engorged so it was impossible for us though i perservered for a week.

yes heinz are allowed to charge what they want but what we are most disappointed in is that we were misled to believe that it was a simple name change when in fact the product was discontinued and replaced.

if i change milk now my 7 weeks olds stomach would be highly upset. i cannot afford the new nurture ( and please no lectures about if you cant afford to feed ur baby dont have one) so i have went out and bought enough farleys in bulk to do me for 4 months. i care aobut my daughter and do not want to upset her system, just as you should have some consideration for other parents out there b4 u go around criticising them.

i dont think it is pointless informing other parents that farleys has increased in price nearly £4 per tin as it is a money saving board. i am sure everyone here who has complained to farleys and written to watchdog just want a decent response form heinz and why they have suddenly turned around from their "xcommitment to fair price" policy.

You sound like a stuck up old bag who obviously has no young babies or toddlers! When you have something useful or concerning to say then speak coz you obviously don't seem to get a care in the world for the amount of young babies and toddlers that are going to be affected by this change, not everyone can afford to spend £40 a month on milk!
