Just seen something about this in my news app. I think this is great news and will hopefully help a lot of parents as formula is so expensive!

This is good news. No one using formula should feel like they are being punished for it.

Brilliant news.

Great to hear. The arguments against this were always poor.

Great news - my daughter is 14 now but I remember being so ashamed in Boots because I couldn’t use my advantage points for formula and I was skint 😕

I am very pro breastfeeding and I am appalled at the lack of support for mums who want to breastfeed, having recently-ish had a baby. I had to pay £££ for a lactation consultant to help me because the midwives were clueless.

I cannot, genuinely, understand how making formula more expensive makes up for the lack of support we give mothers. It's a double whammy. We won't help you breastfeed AND we'll make formula expensive.

Awful. And that must've happened many more times. Such a harmful policy.

This is a good change. Formula should be readily available to those who need it.
