Toddler milk in America

I feel sure if anyone knows, mumsnet will... so, does anyone know whether you can get a ready-mixed formula milk for older babies / toddlers in the U.S. My two-year-old niece is coming to visit in a few weeks, and she won't drink regular cow's milk at home, only that SMA ready-made stuff that comes in cartons. I can see that Enfamil make a toddler product, but I can only see powder, not ready-mixed. Does anyone know of a ready-mixed product of that type? Thanks.

She doesn't need toddler milk, formula or any milk to be honest with you.
It is all just lies and bullshit.Save yer dough and spend it on booze for you and parents.

It's more of a want than a need tbh.

I've never seen ready-mixed formula in the US. Not that I've really looked. Why can't you use the powdered one? You can get them in individual sachets.

Will put a link in the All Those thread - someone there might know.

No idea - my boys were on real milk at that age. Like UnderRated I have not seen any ready mixed milk over here either. Try her with SOY milk - Silk is a good one.

Any chance you can convince her she is trying something new in a new country?
(I only have a 1yo DS, so feel free to all fall about laughing!)

You can get it, it's a little more expensive but it available in every store. We don't really bother with older baby formula. It's hard to find it sometimes, but the regular 0-12 month formula is available everywhere. Walmart or Target usually have better prices the the grocery store or a pharmacy.

Hope it helps.

Oh they don't come in cartons, but they do come in aluminum containers. In every formula brand.

mom2latinoboys · 19/04/2008 00:46

Just to let you know I saw the Enfamil "Next Step" formula ready made in the grocery store today. It is in the Aluminum cans. Hope that helps.

That's perfect. Thanks for that. I think my sister in law was starting to panic that my niece might throw some "terrible twos" tantrums if she couldn't get it. Thanks for your help.
