Warning for all parents using formula!!

[James Deuce]

Bollocks!

Typical anti-formula propaganda.

[judecatmad]

I'm really glad that we had our kids back in the day when you really didn't worry about what you could or couldn't eat, drink, smoke, etc etc.

Blowed if I know how we all survived.

I feel exactly the same about the 'Lysteria hysteria' floating around - so much "helpful advice" over what you should and shouldn't eat cos you might hurt baby.

Kids are too molly-coddled these days!

I've just been listening to the report on the radio. The issue is simply that the formula contains an additive not approved here. It is apparently approved and widely used in Europe, and even used in hospitals here.

Apparently a competitor alerted the authorities to the non-compliance. There is no evidence of harm, rather that there is no evidence of no harm.

Can anyone else feel another media beat-up on the way....

[Krusti]

I must have been breast fed because my shit don't stink.........

[Taz]

Sometimes you don't have the option of whether or not to breastfeed. We didn't have the luxury of choosing for our twin boys, they needed food and formula was it. sometimes things just aren't simple. Breast feeding is probably better but do not look down on those using formula's as some times it's the only option. Us guys don't lactate too well.

[Hitcher]

Neither did I. My Mum forced me to.

[slowpoke]

Just breastfeed them.

WHAAAAT!!!!! It took me months of hard work before I was allowed any access to them whatsoever, then 18 years of limited access on good behaviour.....I'm buggered if I'm gonna let some snotty lil' rugrat just waltz in and takeover without putting in the hard yards!!

[T-Thunder13]

[sunhuntin]

You are on the money, Drum.

This whole thing is about one company using media hysteria to take sales off a competitor, and the media are gullible enough to take it up.

hehe Faberge farts after that!!

I musta been bottle feed as I have this yearning desire to get at them, whenever I see a nice set of breasts.

No, not gullible at all. Merely looking to keep up their respective circulation and viewing figures. The journo's will know exactly what the real reasons behind the press release from whichever rival company are, but have decided the public are too dense to pick it up.

Cynical would be the word.

This is how a great deal of hard news works.

[James Deuce]

Quite simply it's dangerously irresponsible reporting for some people.

The pre-biotics in the toddler version of the formula they are talking about have kept No. 2 son out of Hospital for 6 months. We believe we have clear proof that the additives that are being bitched about are life savers for a small percentage of the population.

20 Hospital admissions in the first 3 years of life. We switched to Karicare Gold as a nutritional supplement after investigating the constituent ingredients and we've had 1 admission this year. Put simply, we've changed his immune system response to certain stimuli.
