Is is actual milk tokens or healthy start?

How much are the vouchers worth?
Healthy Start vouchers are worth:

£2.80 a week if you're pregnant
£5.60 a week for each baby aged under one
£2.80 a week for each child aged over one and under four

fkelanne

all of them are worth £2.80(11), they are healthy start tokens.

Healthy start stops at 4 yrs old.
