I usually buy DS baby cereal - I tried adult weetabix and after one weetabix poo he is back on the baby mush. I usually buy him organic packaged stuff (I don't like getting him pre-made things so that's a compromise) and usually go for Organix or Babynat over HiPP organic as I don't like how HiPP markets the follow-on formula everywhere.

However, out of cereal yesterday so I stop in at the local new-age pharmacy (we have an old-style pharmacy, the new-agey one with the chiropracter and that sells essential oils and organic things, and the homeopath with their remedies) for baby food. They are out of the Organix breakfasts and babynat only does pots, bit expensive for everyday! That's fine, they have in HiPP stuff, we can have that as a one-off. I check it out - makes a mush with milk/water, suitable from 4 months so no hidden nasties... I get it home to find there is a hidden nasty. In very, very small print on the ingredients (which I should have checked in the shop, I know, but grumpy babies and time to do this...) and most of the ruddy thing is follow-on milk powder, 46% of the cereal! I bought my baby a breakfast, not formula! How dare they sneak formula into breakfast cereal?

What if DS has an allergy to formula? Surely it should have CONTAINS FORMULA in big print on the front of the thing? Should I complain to HiPP about it, or only if DS has a reaction?

Worst thing is, DS wants his breakfast and we have nothing else in to give him, so I'll have to give him that this morning. Really narked about that.
