Furious mothers have today blasted a hospital trust for penning a letter that referred to formula milk as 'artificial'. Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust wrote the note to inform new mothers about its decision to no longer supply formula milk. They attacked its decision to call formula milk 'artificial' and warned mothers who are unable to breastfeed 'need support and understanding'. It will mean new mothers giving birth at the trust's maternity unit will no longer be provided with formula milk for free. Parents will have to purchase their own formula milk from supermarkets if they wish to 'artificially feed' their baby.
