Allow stores to include baby milk formulas in their points reward schemes.

What the petition asks

Stores aren't legally allowed to be seen to promote bottle feeding. When i was refused store reward points I was left feeling like a bad parent who was not worth rewarding. Was I doing something wrong?
Breast feeding is not always possible, stop discriminating against those who can't.
Boots aren't the only store to adopt this practice. For example Tesco disallow points on baby formulas and tobacco products, yet allow points to be rewarded on alcohol. So I guess parents who bottle feed their babies are as bad as smokers and worse than alcoholics?
