i work in the pharmacy industry as a pharmacy assistant, i have been to numerous trainings on different formula feeds but in reality i have NEVER had to put my training into practice, due to supermarket chains outpricing pharmacy on most open sellers, we made the decision a few years back not to stock any brands, sounds strange doesnt it, a pharmacy with no formula?
But not one person asked for it, socio-economically speaking sadly the area i work in, people would rather just buy the cheapest rather than get the free advice and support and understanding they could find in a pharmacy.
personally i have no preferance, every mother has the right to choose for herself.
i dont have a child yet, i would like to breastfeed, not only because its natural etc.. but its cheaper in the long run!
