Can you buy ready-made cartons and bottles of formula in Australia?

Just had a look at the Coles and Woolies websites and they don't seem to have it, only powdered formula

Yes, you can. My local Woolies only has the tins but I've seen cartons of Nan in Coles.

thanks scotinoz

Do you know if you can get Karicare Aptamil in ready-made form?

I was in Coles today and its actually S26 formula you can buy in ready made cartons. Thinks that's the only kind you can get ready made in stores. They had little bottles of Nan in the hospital but I think that's only supplied to hospitals.

We could only find S26 when there with DD1 the year before last. She was 8 months and had been in Aptamil for a couple of months by then and had no problems with the S26. Seem to recall it being very expensive but that may have been down to the exchange rate!

Thanks metella, good to hear that switching between the 2 isn't a drama.

I'm in Oz for a month soon and can't seriously pack one months worth of ready-made Aptamil... although I'll pack as much as I can! (and declare it at customs of course!)

Do not want to be faffing with powdered formula.
