Kendamil equivalent in Australia

[ld012023]

We're going on an extended holiday in Australia - almost 6 weeks. My little one is on ~960ml a day of Kendamil classic first stage formula. Ideally when there, we'd have enough ready to feed bottles to cover us as we'll be travelling about a lot, but that would mean taking ~160 bottles, which not only would be a nightmare to transport, but also takes us over the personal allowance for import. Does anyone know of the closest alternative to kendamil over there, and a brand that provides ready to drink bottles? Thanks!

We have Aptamil?
What's special about Kendamil?
Australia/NZ has some superb organic baby formula brands. Bellamy's, Bubs Organic, A2.

Aus baby formula is so sought after that we have a limit of two tins per customer. A lot of Chinese people (referred to as diagou) would stock buy and send it to China causing shortage in Australia.

There are no ready to drink milk bottles (pre made formula) sold in retail shops; only provided in hospitals.

I always wondered why that is. I've heard through my line of work that the government was concerned the the pre made formula would discourage breastfeeding (as pre made is so so convenient and easy).

How old is LO?

If over 6mo then I would take powdered formula as you don't need to worry so much about everything being sterile. Easy to just to take powder out and make a bottle with boiling water from a cafe and top up with bottled water.

Take as much ready to feed as seems reasonable for days when you might not have access to cafes etc.

Thanks all. He was on Aptamil early days but he was really sick from it. We transitioned to Kendamil and he's been loads better so wouldn't want to switch back. It's whole milk, rather than skimmed that most formulas are made with, no palm oil & plant based DHA. I'll check out those brands you mentioned and see what's close to it.
That's so strange there's no ready to drink versions! I'll just bring as much ready to drink as I can then and buy some powder formula there I think.

Yep no ready to drink versions! I remember really wishing we had it here in Australia but nope.
When I gave birth the hospital provided it, and when I asked where I can buy it they said you can't in shops. (I stockpiled about 7 bottles before I got discharged!)

We use LittleOak, it’s a goats milk formula no palm oils

Hi there - just wondering what you went with in the end as we are currently in Aus and upped our milk out here and nervous we are going to run out of our last tin a day or so before we fly home. Thanks in advance!
