Help, won't eat British formula

My 4.5 mo has come back from Canada and may just be jetlagged - she wouldn't touch Cow and Gate or SMA but has drunk less than usual but still good amounts of Aptamil. Lovely Aptamil, it gives yellow stools! I am so excited about this I can hardly type. SO all was well for the first 2 days but TODAY she isn't taking the powder or the ready made at any temperature - because I've never made up powder before and was worried I didn't know how to do it. She is a fat little thing (55 centile length, 95 centile weight) so I'm not scared - yet! And she has drunk the Aptamil in reasonable amounts (the Canadian stuff she used to glug like baby crack, which I also wasn't entirely happy about). But she's crying now and hungry, and I don't want her to cry any more. Any others I can try? Any possible reasons she'd glug Aptamil/Aptimil? for a few days and suddenly decide it's not good enough?

if it's just today I wouldn't worry. Kepp trying for a few days. Could it be that Canadian formula is sweeter?

I think it is! It's got a lot of sugar in it, and she sucks it down with a scary enthusiasm. And she has been drinking some, so I guess I should just give it a day. This is when the little rolls of chub are a big comfort.

Can you bulk buy Canadian formula over the internet? Presume it would cost alot more, but maybe if you bought alot at once? If not keep trying, sure it will be OK once she gets used to it?

My husband just got home and managed to get 120ml into her, so I'm panicking a bit less. I think she's been out of sorts with the jetlag, so maybe she will get used to it. All the formulas here seem a little more natural and the yellow/tar black poo difference is worth persevering for, I think. DH going back to Canada in a couple of weeks to have a lot of stuff shipped home, so that's always a possibility, good thought.
