To think that if you're going to start an advert 'Breast feeding is best for your baby' you shouldn't turn out to be selling formula?

I'm sure I'm not.

(This is an advert for Aptamil follow-on.)

Obviously it's not as bad as the ad with the bloke who says he's doing night-feeds for his baby (who obviously is over six months, oh yes), but still....

Are there any milk adverts that aren't actually secretly shilling for infant formula?

(Like the Aptamil follow-on milk advert 'Aptamil 3' - conveniently almost identical in name to 'Aptamil 1' and 'Aptamil 2', both of which are illegal to advertise in the UK.)

harpy your earliest post under your username date from mid september.

you can do a bit of research by using the advance search facility and search Tiktok's name as well as charitygirl's.

you seem to be taking for granted that a lot of people who are lurking and contributing on this thread are longstanding members of MN. And they know how to think for themselves.

on another not I like your username. Because I am dying to see one of these in the wild. But you are reminding me of a different harpy now.

at teektok!

foxy - good idea for sleuthing, there. Easy to do as well.

I think I have been posting under this username since 1973.

Feels like it anyway.

I did once change briefly to contribute to something dead personal a couple of years ago, but that's the only time.

Now, get up that pyramid and start building!

You, too, tactok and tektak....

Post again, Harpy, and with quotes included and typos corrected... makes it easier to follow for all.

I thank you

Wouldn't it be nice if tech could give us overwriting in red for typo corrections??
