so if a shop knocks 10p off a carton of 1st formula......

[misdee]

is that breaking the code?

yes

Yes

I was going to ask about this because I'm sure Boots have had offers on forumla before now, because I remember my mom telling me one was 2 for £10.

what code?

oh dear oh dear.

superdrug did it recently. thats why i have loads of cartons of aptimil in my cupboard for dd3 cereals etc.

It only applies to 'breast milk substitutes', ie formula suitable from birth.

You really are sleepy, Suzy!

Ahhh it could have been follow on milk she was on about, not sure now.

they can't discount on sma gold for example, but they can on sma white as that is follow-on (or so I understand it)

this is definatly the 1st stage formula, its the blue one with 1 on it lol.

SMA white is 1st stage for hungrier babies.

sorry maybe i best keep my name!

The Code is the 'International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes' from the World Health Organisation, which basically says you are not allowed to do anything to promote formula for newborns (0 - 6 months) - no advertising, discounting, free samples etc.

Follow-on milks are designed primarily to circumvent the WHO code.

Yes, that's breaking the code. And not surprised Superdrug did it - see my previous thread re Superdrug weaning spoons suitable from three months...

oh yes Hunker I remember that one, shocking isn't it

MT, why bother posting?

despite advice people do still choose to wean early.

malory towers, i was asking a real question.

it's getting a bit boring all this Boden business

Oh crap - didn't mean to start the early weaning club onto me again

Yes, some people choose to wean early, but shops shouldn't be cynically encouraging them to do so. See the difference?

I agree..sorry was thinking out loud!!!
But if you choose to wean early (not that you should) you might not realise that a spoon is a spoon..and one for 6 months is the same as one for 3 months!!!

MTS, if you don't realise a spoon is a spoon...you need help! LOL!

i dont get the boden thing, theres a link at the top of the page lol.
