    My second kid was formula fed, it was so stressful and expensive. I cannot imagine having to do so now. With all the shortages, and contaminations. Best of luck to you dads.

    If you can get in with a milk bank do it.

      Our first was bottle fed, and our second breast fed and it was so less stressful. No constantly cleaning bottles and sterilising them or not being able to change plans on the fly while you’re out because you didn’t bring enough sterile bottles. The NHS are constantly changing the standards to make it ever more difficult to bottle feed.

      There was also an issue at the time where people would bulk buy baby formula and then sell it to people in China at a premium as it was in demand, so it drove up the price of formula.

    Other than having to issue full refunds to those that actually bother to return the product, what are the consequences for the companies involved?
