I think this is astonishing - nowhere on their website does it say
the product (a concoction of chemicals as far as I can see)  is
suitable for babies, let alone new babies, let alone *sick*
babies.....

The name is interesting.

If they marketed it in the UK they would have to change the name.

In British English, 'thick' means 'stupid'.

I'm sayin' nuttin'.....
