As a result, I have to leave Mumsnet.
It's more than an ad, it's a real link between Milupa and this useful and supportive site. I can't give my time to this board any more; it would not sit well with my feelings about the way formula milk manufacturers promote themselves to mothers.
It's been a great four years or so - I have enjoyed the posts and the discussions, and I know (because people have kindly told me!) that some of what I say about bf has helped.
But that's it
I hope Mumsnet thinks again, but I doubt it. I was one of the few who have subscribed (with real money!) to this site (I can't remember when - it might have been ages ago). I know it is impossible to make money from subscriptions to websites, so it's not surprising they have taken this way out of a cash difficulty. But it still doesn't make it at all ethical, and it borders on the illegal, too.
Good luck to all and bye bye!
