Stop this baby food folly

Article Abstract:

The death of a three-month old baby from ingesting too much salt has led to a call from health care professionals for the price of baby foods to be reduced after it was revealed the parents of the dead baby fed him adult foods because they could not afford baby food. Baby food manufacturers claim the high prices charged for their products covers research, quality and standards costs, which puts baby food on a par with pharmaceutical products. The baby's parents were urged by their health visitor to try baby rice-based feeding after he failed to thrive on baby milk, although the health authority claim this is standard practice in such cases.
