My children had lait infantil Guigoz. Not sure that's helpful, but it's one of the most popular brands

I think Nutricia makes Cow and Gate and is also a brand in France but imagine ingredients are likely to vary anyway.

It's likely to be slightly different whatever you buy - I believe French formula is slightly thicker...because my French cousin who stayed for a couple of months kept saying UK stuff is strangely thin.

Be warned the formulas are far richer than in the UK, like the milk. We were only warned that after buying and experiencing diarrhorrea and some vomiting. The vomiting settled, the bum did not.

Go for whatever is closest to C&G on the back or if you have amazon prime see if you can get CG there.

Yeah that’s what I was worried about, the formula being different. It’s annoying I am only about two feeds worth down! Thanks both
