"formula should only be available by prescription" is something I'd like to see... in places with universal healthcare free at the point of service. I'd like it to cost the health service more to *refuse* adequate breastfeeding support than to provide it. But here, breastfeeding support is volunteer-based and healthcare is state-funded, so it's a bit different.

I'd also like babies who need formula to get it, always made up full-strength, whatever their parents' economic status, and as all child prescriptions are free here (adults pay a nominal fee), that would work ok.
