Parents have slammed supermarket chain Aldi for making a major change to its baby milk selection.
Aldi has withdrawn one of its Mamia baby milk powders from sale, and parents and carers have been left concerned.
The Follow On Milk has now been axed, which was used for babies aged between six and 12 months to help weaning.
Parents have taken to social media to vent their frustration about the move, with many asking why this has happened.
One angry person wrote: “What’s happened to the number two baby milk formula, can’t find it anywhere and got an unhappy nine month old. Please help.”
Another said: "How can this be allowed? Discontinuing baby milk although it’s perfectly safe? Now mums are having to change babies' formula and risk allergies or babies not agreeing with other formulas!
"What an absolute joke."
While a third parent said: “It’s the only one our grandson can manage but is not available anywhere locally."
And a third said: “Been none at my two local stores for nearly a week and I’ll have a hungry baby soon.”
There is also widespread concern that Aldi’s first stage milk, designed for babies from birth, is being withdrawn as well.
The rumours began when a mum on TikTok posted that she had visited a few Aldi stores, but was unable to find any stage two milk.
The mum, known as Danceroomdiva on the site, then went on to claim that she found out that the popular supermarket was withdrawing its entire baby powder range.
She ranted: “Talking to the area manager that was in there at the time and you have discontinued your entire baby powder milk range without informing any of your customers that have children.
"That is unprofessional.”
Sources close to Aldi confirmed the supermarket had withdrawn its follow-on milk, but that first stage milk would not be discontinued and should be on sale in all Aldis.
Meanwhile, Aldi was recently slammed for increasing the price of its price of First Infant Milk from £7.99 to £8.49 - leaving parents angered.
The discounter was left in hot water this year after a reduction in the number of baby wipes in Mamia packs was found.
And in other news, shoppers have blasted the German supermarket for over growing concerns that the shelves look 'emptier and emptier' each week.
Amid the cost of living crisis, consumers have been left worried that it is now becoming harder and harder to find the items they need in their local supermarket, with many popular items apparently in short supply.
