Bottled water & baby jars in spain

8 replies

We're going away on holiday next week to Spain.
I don't know if you can drink tap water in spain but we don't anyway. I know they say to avoid bottled water for young babies because it contains salts/ minerals ect but for a 19month old will it be fine? She won't drink anything but water (or my milk)
Also we had ALOT of problems with her weaning (tried blw..wouldn't do it as she eat like a mouse so ended up losing weight and had problems with dietician ect) and she still eats baby jars quite alot. Do they do cow&gate.. heniz ect in spain.. if not do you have any recommendations what to buy.
She will eat some normal meals like pasta food like spag bol ect.. garlic bread..fruit and so on. Stews/casseroles too but i doubt that's going to be available on a all inclusive spainish buffet haha.

Many thanks xx

Bottled water will be fine but don't know about jars

Yes the bottled water will be absolutely fine. You can get baby food in big supermarkets but there's nowhere near the range you can get here and you might struggle depending on the resort. That said, every all inclusive buffet I've ever been to has had loads of toddler friendly food. You may find it's a good opportunity to offer her stuff that she wouldn't get at home. My DS lived on fried rice, fish, yogurt and rice pudding on a recent AI holiday! You can generally get omelettes, pasta etc cooked to order so you should be fine.

Not sure about the water there but we recently went away with 13 month old and took a travel kettle for her water, was only about £10.

On the continent they often have bottled water that is marked as suitable for infants. No idea about jars but I expect they have prepared baby food

Evian is suitable for babies.

Also could you not take some food with you? You could take baby sachets that aren't too heavy/bulky.

Op won't need a kettle as her child is a toddler rather than a baby so can drink it fresh from the water bottle

Oh great okay, Thanks! Well I'll just take her cups with me and I'll use bottled water 👍
I'll just take some toddler trays with me enough for 1 meal aday, i wanted to avoid that because they weigh 230g each so it adds up fast but i guess she can have 1 of them a day and 1 finger food meal.
They better have weetabix lol
Thanks everyone xx
