Hospital trust under fire for describing use of milk formula as 'artificial feeding' A hospital trust has caused outrage after it described using formula milk as "artificially" feeding babies.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust used the term as it announced it would no longer provide formula milk in its maternity wards to mothers who had chosen not to breastfeed.
One of the headings in a Q&A fact sheet read: "What do I need to bring with me if I wish to artificially feed my baby?".
It said that from May 1, mothers who had decided not to breastfeed should bring a first milk starter pack to hospital for when they gave birth. The Daily Telegraph
