Petition Infant formula on prescription
More details
Although 'breast is best' is obvious. My wife, and I suspect many mothers are, are unable to produce enough breast milk to satisfy baby's needs.
As such, I find it awful that we should fork out £8 for a box of infant formula to keep our young alive.
The baby would most like starve to death without this fomula milk.
That is why I have setup this e-peition, to make infant formula available on prescription.
(I would suggest a full assessment be made to each case to verify that the mother cannot produce enough milk for their child - rather than those who cannot be bothered)
