And bright cheery lettering telling parents all about the good wholesome milk, calcium, fruit pulp, 'all natural ingredients' and even a little colouring picture on the inside of the pack for the little'uns to complete. It had a farm scene with cows and a farmer and milk churns.

They're essentially marketing this sugary dessert as a weening food. Disgraceful.

Akchully........... they're not bad as a weaning food. They're not sweet like candy, and breastmilk is pretty sweet compard to cow's milk. One of baby's main jobs is to lay down a little fat to get them through periods of illness etc. so the calories are not a major problem for most kids. So they're milky and sweet -like breast milk and yet less liquid and with other flavors -like real food. an excellent transition tool. What you don't want to use is chocolate puddings -80%+ sugar, no dairy, no fruit, but the kiddywinks really like them......
