Nurse for a new outfit, put baby to your breast to bag a
bargain so sounds the scheme to incentivise more women to feed their kids the
way nature intended by offering them £200of shopping vouchers.
Maybe I was just lazy but in the first stages of my twin’s
life it was a major achievement for us all to be dressed by lunch time let
alone find the time to plan the major expedition that was a shopping trip.
One can only surmise that whoever came up with this idea has
never seen the vastly empty social diary of a tired new mother for whom the
height of excitement is a full night’s sleep.
They need new outfits about as much as they need to be
bullied into thinking that they are not doing the best for their baby.
So how about instead of bribing them to do something we give
them the chance to make a decision that is right for them.
