Formula advertising?

[AtYourCervix]

There's a banner advert up the top for cow nd gate baby club.

Is it 'allowed'?

[BikeRunSki]

Is it specifically advertising formula milk for babies under 6 months?

[Nocomet]

I was just about to complain about this, I don't care if it's keeping to the letter of the rules, I don't like it.

We get mirad threads from women put under enormous pressure by friends and family to stop BFing at 6months for no reason except some odd notion that you don't BF and eat solid food (or bF with teeth).

The follow on milk industry quite calculatingly and disgracefully play on this and do all they can to reinforce your nonsense about iron levels and vitamins.

And while they state all the DCs are over 6 months they are all jolly little and they are always shown with bottles not an older child's feeding cup

Hi everyone,



We've blocked formula milk advertising but it might be slipping through the net somehow. If you see this ad again could you post the URL that it clicks through to?

Thanks for reporting

[Nocomet]

It's not formulae advertising, it's advertising a kind of Cow and Gate MN. Inviting you to login so they can bombard you with dodgy advice and adverts for ever.

Hi Nocomet,

Sorry I didn't make myself very clear, Cow and Gate are blocked as part of our ban on formula milk advertising, but if someone could post the URL we can double check that it's not a variant on the URL that we have on our block list.

Cheers

[ColetteTech]

A-ha! Is it this one?

We've just blocked it, thanks for reporting everyone.

[AtYourCervix]

Yes that's it. I coildn't ind it again.

Cheers.

[Nocomet]

Glad you found it and sentenced it to outer darkness where it belongs

Thanks for the URL, it shouldn't be showing on the site anymore, please let me know if you continue to see it.

[ForgettableTampon]

Hi Collete have just seen that ad but no idea how to screen catch it or whatever

Viewing via Chrome on Samsung mobile using MN Mobile not the app

[not hugely useful]

[ForgettableTampon]

Oh right now it's at the top of this page

[AtYourCervix]

Still there. Stubborn bugger isn't it.

[BettyStogs]

Still getting it on my phone

[Nocomet]

It's still not gone, grrrr!

[Corabell]

Still there!

[ForgettableTampon]

Perhaps it's slipping through because it's advertising the "community" run by c and g not infant formula per se.

Still don't wanna see it ofc.

[ForgettableTampon]

And yes, seen this morning.

[RowanMumsnet]

Argh, sorry about this.

If you could bear to click through when you see it so that you can get the URL of the page it clicks through to and let us know what that URL is, it makes it a lot easier for us to find it and block it. Thanks

[ForgettableTampon]

currently only seen on my mobile, how sneaky!

I'll have a fumble, see what I can do, Rowan

[Nocomet]

C&G and boobs together, this annoys me!

[EduCated]

Just spotted on Active

[BranchingOut]

I saw this and was quite shocked that it was appearing, so am glad to hear that it was not intentional.
