Reduce the price of baby milk!

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Baby milk is far too expensive, the price needs to be brought down dramatically.
Baby’s have no choice but to drink milk for the first year of their life, along with everything else baby milk prices are on the rise. This is making it unaffordable for thousands of families in the UK. Parents are having to make baby milk stretch longer than they should have too, babies need milk to sustain a healthy diet and to SURVIVE. Not all women are able to breastfeed for numerous of reasons from physical to mental. Also, some mothers are not present so breastfeeding isn’t an option.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
