Cow & Gate (new formulation) baby milk powder

Hello, I have a 1 year old I am gradually moving from Cow & Gate Anti Reflux milk to cow's milk. I was shocked to discover recently that the 'new' boxes of powder have about 50g less milk powder inside although it says the same amount on the outside! Hmm I weighed a new and old on the same set of scales because my eyes could not believe what I was seeing! They have also increased the size of the measuring spoon by about 10% so if you followed the guide on the side of the box rigidly you would be giving your baby 10% more milk powder all the time! Makes me feel sick when I think how many parents are falling prey to this. I have contacted their customer care team twice now and get promised a call back, 2 weeks went by so I rang them again and now another 2 weeks, they just don't care. It seems like a great moneyspinner for them but so unfair on hardworking parents

That does seem odd OP but can I ask why you're not going straight to Cow's Milk?

Getting patents to buy formula for babies over 12 months is the biggest money dinner the formula companies have Smile
