What the feck is 'growing up' milk all about then????

[moondog]

Subjected to inane tv in the gym,saw ad for said product,and summat along the lines of
'You've given him C&G all along to help him grow so why stop now??'

Yeah,why stop being completely and utterly ripped off for even longer than you already have been,you dullard of a mother???

I checked out the price this afternoon.

erm...dullard?????/ great ..lets make formula feeders feel even more crap and guilty moondog........

You really should try and get a refund from that charm school moondog.

am actually really offended...

Er,it's not my viewpoint but obviously that of the people who market it.

(Fancy you dropping by JT!)

I dont think moon meant being a dullard for FF, but, for buying "growing up milk"...

sounds like your viewpoint.....that is certainly the way it came across

it is actually a bit cheaper than the initial formula

are you talking about follow on milk or something else...either way...it is the implication that anything other than breast feeding is not acceptable.... ripped off ? in whos opinion....if you can;t breast feed...what should you buy?????

What's the matter with regular milk?

How have they now managed to persuade parents of strapping toddlers that they need some over packaged over priced product???

Lulu...
this is not about breast versus formula.

lulu - this milk is for 1+

ooops... i seee......tis not follow on milk....still object to the dullard thing thouhg!

Oh FGS growing up milk is not about breast v formula. It's about an unnecessary over-priced product. If your toddler is 14 months old and you're not breastfeeding him/her, then plain plain old full fat cows milk is perfectly acceptable, unless there is some reason why s/he can't tolerate that (allergy or whatever).

Growing up milk is all about marketing.

sorry x post.....and i withdraw my previous comments !

Very grown up of you Lulu.

will you take back the heavy and resigned sigh>??????

Of course
Delighted to !

There.......swiped away deftly.

OMG looks like a row has diffused in record time.

Lulu, can't you just keep on arguing? Just for the sake of it? Just until the morning crowd get in and keep the thread going?

so...do we sit here and wait now for some other poor soul to get het up and then sigh at them>>

lol Cal.

So....is this a new thing then????

(The 'growing up' nonsense,not the diffusing of dingdongs.)

no can do caligula.... i am a gentle & reasonable Lulu and will always back down if in the wrong.....! sorry!!!

I saw it advertised a few months back, and me in my preMN days thought I had to buy it when DS was 1... now I know better

Admit it Lulu...you buy 'growing up' milk,dontcha???

DONTCHA???

No I think it's been around for quite a while now. I can't remember seeing it when my youngest was 1 (3 years ago) but then again, I avoided all baby shops and only bought the bare minimum baby shite that I had to, so maybe I wasn't looking.

It is such a clever idea, to extend the period children "have" to have overpriced shite to drink instead of normal milk. And I wonder how active HV's will be in telling mothers to FGS not waste their money on the bloody stuff.

Money Money Money....

i don't...babylulu has organic cows milk....but i could pretend to and you could inuslt me and we could turn it into a personal attack and one of us could flounce?
