FORMULA THREAD - am absolutely FUMING!

[DanJARMouse]

We have been feeding DS on Farleys Hungry Baby milk.... piglet that he is.

Farleys has been discontinued and replaced with Nurture. All the advertising with the old Farleys tins said nothing is changing apart from the name.

WHY then, when I went to stock up today, is Nurture £3 a tin more expensive?!

I am absolutely fuming that they can warrant such a hike in price.... with what reasoning?!

Have emailed them telling them as much!

Feel free to ignore rant!

Looky here, DanJARMouse

DS2 is on cows milk now, but if they had done this when he was still on formula I would have been fuming. Only thing I would suggest is swopping to a completely different cheaper brand as it sounds like a different product anyway! Also I would definately be calling for the voucher!!!!!!

Another fuming mum here. New Heinz Nurture is completely different milk and now has pre-biotics and this anti-consipation ingredient)- but no way does this justify the price increase of £3. They just want to go after the Aptimil market share (must be more profitable). Will be changing my 18 wk old dd onto Cow&Gate when my stock of Farley's runs out. We used it with ds and it was fine. It's got prebiotics too (which old Farley's doesn't) and the anti-constipation help surely isn't worth £1 extra a tub (dd doesn't have a problem in that dept.). Don't worry about changing babes from Farley's onto another brand because Heinz Nurture sounds sufficiently different from Farley's now anyway.

Heinz must think we are stupid. One minute "commited to fair prices" the next minute most expensive on the market (1p more than Aptimil in Boots!)

we have boycotted too and gone to Hipp organic- my DD is now 6 months so is on follow on milk- heinz do not derserve my custom and refuse to give them the satisfaction- i just hope DD is happy with the change over xxxx

We are fuming about it!!!!! Heinze have screwed them selves over imo

I have boycotted Heinz too. Their treatment of customers is shocking Am thinking of switching to hipp follow on milk but the tin is only 600g so although its cheaper you get less iyswim

[theSuburbanDryad]

My friend's had to switch to Hipp Organic because the Nurture made her ds so poorly.

She's really, really cross - we'll be boycotting Heinz here too! (Bugger as I only like Heinz ketchup...oh well, Daddy's Favourite will have to do!)

[simpson]

TheSuburbanDryad - Feel the same as you. Said to DH yesterday we are boycotting heinz then he points out I am eating Heinz tomato sauce Opps!!

[shrinkingsagpuss]

We were using Farleys follow on milk for DD - the new stuff is awful - it has a new ingrediant to help "constipation" - wel she wasn't constipated before on Farleys, but she does have the runs now. So thanks Heinz. I've changed milk. Am getting her onto cows milk anyway though.

It is disgraceful though isn't it!

[pinguino]

Ocado still have Farleys in stock. You can get free delivery if you don't mind a late evening delivery.

[theSuburbanDryad]

Simpson - we've just bought a bottle, which will last us a little while! Not going to buy any more though!

Is there anyone out there who has a baby who's better off on the Nurture? Seems like everyone I know who used it had their baby made quite poorly on it!

[VictorianSqualor]

We go through a huge bottle of heinz ketchup a week, DP eats so much of it.
I doubt I can get him to boycott heinz he's fed up enough about not being allowed Yorkies

[LackaDAISYcal]

I called Heinz to complain and also filled out there email complaint form, over two weeks ago now. They have yet to get back to me

We are trying to avoid Heinz as well. Thankfully DS is the only one who eats tomato ketchup so he's happy with supermarket own brand rubbish!

VS - my DH cross he can't have shredded wheat anymore.
