Hi Elaine,
I agree the advertisement is gross and misleading. However, I think the same 
question could be asked about claims made for the other products that are 
marketed for feeding babies, which the community unfortunately thinks of as 
"normal". For instance, bottle teats, old and new, that are claimed to be 
just like Mum and powdered infant formula promoted for its additives - with 
no mention that they are only a tiny fraction of what human milk provides.

Is it legal for them to make theses claims and advertise it thus?

I was doing some research into infant formulas and the way they are marketed
and was horrified when I came across this:

I hope that this is a joke and no parent would actually try to purchase this
or worse still feed it to their baby.
The claims are  so riduculous, that I hope no mother would believe them and
use it but, you never know and there is no warning that it is not to be fed
to infants, in fact it even states 'from birth to 12 months'.

I hope that it is all a big scam and they will never actually produce this
product..... but I wanted to highlight it just in case!
