Babyfood & formula in France

3 replies

We are going to France for a holiday in few weeks' time and need tips for baby's food. She will be 10 months but she is a fussy eater, i.e. likes her food very smooth and she is not too keen on powder, just ready made formula. In the UK she likes Cow&Gate products, particularly ones that taste decent (=home-cooked) to me too. But the ones which I find really off-putting (like Heinz ones in a tin) she doesn't like at all. She has had Aptamil ready-made formula abroad before and liked it, but I've heard you can only get this in pharmacies. Can you recommend any baby foods in France which have been popular with your babies? I don't really fancy taking a load of glass jars on the plane. Looks like there is Intermarche store close by, but otherwise we are staying in rural location.

Contact Aptamil's cutomer care line. I'm sure that they will be able to advise you.

Regarding food - can you take a small blender with you and cook?

If you are staying at a cottage or gite, ask the owner what is available? I know the larger Intermarche sell Hipp Organic jars (among others)

We were in France last summer when DS was around 9 months. I found a reasonable variety of baby foods in the local supermarket and it wasn't huge. And there were organic ranges there.

Don't know about specific formula brands as he was breast fed. But at 10months would 1 or 2 tubs of formula not last for the majority of your trip, to save you the worry?

Do look at the pictures on the ready made formula bottles (if getting them there) as some appear to have crushed biscuit/rusk through them.
