Natasha Kurzeja from London says the cost of formula is “extortionate”.
When Natasha’s 12-week-old son was born, he needed extended stays in hospital, which, she says, made breastfeeding unsustainable.
“It’s frustrating when you drop some of the formula because you think, ‘gosh, how much did that just cost me?'”
She agrees with Clare about feeling punished for not being able to breastfeed.
“For babies under 12 months you don’t have to pay for prescriptions as medicine is something they need. So if I have to feed my baby formula, why are we having to pay through the nose?
“For some of us formula feeding definitely isn’t a choice, but even if it is, fed is best, and mothers don’t need any more shame heaped upon them.”
