To write to Nestle

[PrammyMammy]

and plead with them to make Creamola Foam?

I can taste it now, and really fancy some. Every few months or so i crave it, raspberry flavour.
Does anyone know why it isn't around any more? Wasn't it really popular?

Yes, the global boycott, the biggest in the world is all based on a misunderstanding! thanks for that, we should email the possibly millions of boycotters to let them know that coffeeandcarrotcake has it all worked out....

Do you work for the all new fluffy Nestle or something?

Glad to have helped pooexplosions. Any other of life's major questions you'd like help with, just let me know.

(And no, I don't work for Nestlé!)

Oh, FGS.

No one is saying anyone should be denied the choice to use formula.

Nestle can sell its formula wherever it wants to.

Women should buy this brand and any other brand without restriction.

It's about marketing and ethics.

Why should women and babies anywhere be subject to misinformation, misleading claims, false advertising, lack of information?

CoffeeAndCarrotCake - in developing countries before formula was available, the vast majority of babies were successfully breastfed. Serious bf problems are comparatively rare in places with an entrenched breastfeeding culture.

Breastfeeding problems proliferate as soon as formula is in common use in a society - because formula use damages breastfeeding at a population level as well as for the individual mother.

Honestly I can't see how marketing formula to women in this countries is going to improve the quality of their lives en masse, whether it complies with the code or not, or improve the quality of their babies' lives, given that the net result will be less breastfeeding and more preventable infant deaths.

The best thing that Nestle could do would be to stop promoting its products in countries where many women cannot afford to use it safely. All their education programmes are just pissing into the wind compared to this.

Bring back Creamola Foam petition here!

I was astounded to read that child welfare was not a MNers "area of interest" but on further reading have seen the power of information... well done MN

Goddammit, I didn't realise nestle makes so many own brand cereals

Me neither

Really pissed off that they make all the honey nut cornflakes for everyone. Have to have something else now.

doesn't kellogs make crunchy nut cornflakes? Am I being stupid? Does nestle own kellogs as well and I just never realised?

Yes they do and no they don't.

It's just the shops own cost half as much as Kelloggs and with 4 people in our house who love Crunchy Nut, it will work out very expensive.

Heh, I saw you ignored my question about being stupid.

I have noticed that being principled does tend to be more expensive

ooooh i could not do without my special k, and start

Piglet, just done an order o Approved Foods and got Special K with red berries for 99p each. So ordered a few

Bargain

OOOh thats good MrsGok love special K red berries, thought i got a bargain at Tescos for £1.40, that is good will have to stock up yum yum

standanddeliver well said.

CoffeeAndCarrotCake, read The Politics of Breastfeeding by Gabrielle Palmer asap.

And my boys were all mixed fed and ff from 3 months so I'm not saying this from a "bf is the only way" point of view, it's about ethics and just plain old decency.

And M&S Walnut Whips are nicer anyway. So there.

I will probably get the politics of breastfeeding even though i formula fed its something that i have developed an interest since I had my dd and was not successful in bf myself and since discovering MN
