Limit the sale of baby formula to parents

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To have to present a mother's free prescription card to be allowed to buy first milk.
Currently, people are stockpiling baby milk often for reselling online at a higher price, making it impossible for parents to buy for their young babies.
There is no other choice for them on what they eat so not being able to access this is dangerous.
