What the petition asks
Amend legislation that forbids shops from promoting infant first milk or products, so that reward points/coupons can be offered/used for infant milk. All parents should be treated fairly, and the law should recognise that fed is best for our children!
This current law is penalising mothers and parents like myself, where we’re unable to breastfeed or unable to continue breastfeeding for any reason.
The current law does not allow people to collect reward points or spend already earned points on infant first milk/powdered formula (up to 6 months) and bottles. This is not fair as a these products are not cheap and this scheme would benefit a lot more parents who would be able to save/spend points to be able to feed their child/children.
