Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Allow the gaining and spending of points on stage 1 infant formulas

I would like for parents with bottle fed newborns to be able to earn and spend retail points on stage 1 infant formulas in all retailers

More details

Because infant formula is expensive. And while yes, breast feeding may be more beneficial to a newborn, it is not always an option. Single male parents, adoptive parents, women whom have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer, women with health conditions, women who’s babies had tongue ties when feeding started and got used to formula, women who couldn’t produce enough breast milk - all these people deserve the same respect and options as breast feeding women.
