An AFL WAG has called out the insane price for a popular café item for kids.
Tayla Broad, who is married to Richmond player Nathan Broad, announced she has had enough of the high price of buying a babychinos for her two-year-old daughter Samara in Melbourne.
‘Sick of spending $3.50 on a goddamn babychino,’ the mother of one shared in her stories on Tuesday.
She included a photo of the frothy brew in a reusable cup from the BBcino brand.
‘Homemade from now on,’ she added in the caption.
A babychino is made with a small amount of whole cream milk and a dusting of powdered chocolate, just like a cappuccino.

Since it does not contain caffeine, it is the go-to treat for children.
Tayla is quite passionate about her neighbourhood and was left ‘devastated’ when her local café closed last year.
Tayla shared her heartbreak after the business ceased operations in May 2024.
In her post, the dark-haired beauty said the café had played an important part in her mental health.
‘Anyone with a child knows how important your local café is to your mental health,’ she wrote to her Instagram Story over a photo with her daughter being held by a barista in front of a coffee machine.
‘Some days, it’s the only adult conversation you have outside your partner at the end of the day.
‘For Samara and me, our local café became our family. They watched Samara grow and learn new tricks, checked in on me every day, played with her, and loved her.
‘It was our favourite part of the day. Unfortunately, Sunday was their last business day.

‘Although absolutely devastated, I am also so grateful for what they gave Samara and me each day,’ she added.
Tayla and her husband Nathan tied the knot in October 2022.
The family currently live in Melbourne but are planning to move back to her native Western Australia.
Late last year, Tayla announced she and Nathan had begun working on a new Perth home for their growing family.
‘Sharing the process of our Perth build. Excited is an understatement,’ she captioned alongside a recent image of an interior.
The couple welcomed their daughter Samara in August 2023, and Tayla returned to work five months later, opening up on the challenges of being a working mother.
‘Lots of friends are stepping in, it’s obviously a bit of a hard time without family [being in Melbourne], but we’ve got a really good support network over here to help,’ she told Nine Entertainment at the Australian Open.
‘Just to keep it real. 10/10 would not recommend having a baby and trying to work without family to help,’ she added in an Instagram post at the time.
