One of the yummy mummies I hang about and about with is partially weaning her baby from exclusive breastmilk onto food, skipping formula entirely...because it's too expensive! Yes, indeed, apparently a tin of formula powder costs about 6 quid and lasts about 6 days...so that's about a quid's worth of infant nutriment a day, innit?
As opposed to, according to her reasoning, lovely 'free' breastmilk. Ahem, but the food I eat, besides maintaining me, is going into either my milk or is providing the energy my body requires to make the milk.
There just ain't no such thing as a free lunch. I reckon in bikkits alone I am eating more than a quid's worth of calories every day...and that's not counting the mighty meals I consume. Time was, I'd eat half a chicken breast and have a sandwich out of the other half the next day. Now, I swallow one practically whole and then gaze hungrily at Hubby's...
