Baby formula in Lanzarote

Just wanted to pay it forward on the subject of getting hold of formula milk in Lanzarote. I couldn't find any consistent advice after much googling! The long and short it of is that I managed to switch my 6--month old from Hipp powder/ready made to the local Nestle brand with no problems whatsoever. The only local brand I could find which sold the ready made cartons is made by Nestle and called 'Nidina'. The baby loved it! The cartons come as 500ml so a bit bigger than expected and the formula tins are standard size. I could only find the ready made cartons in the pharmacies. Would recommend using low mineral bottled water to make up the formula. The brand called 'Bezoya' worked well and is widely available.

Also the Lidl own brand nappies are not too expensive and just as good as Pampers!

I was just about to post asking about formula in Lanzarote! What resort were you in? Did you take nappies with you or buy them there? Thanks!

Playa Blanca. Where are you headed? I wouldn't bother taking nappies as the Lidl ones seemed to be just as good as Pampers.

Costa Teguise. Never been before but looking forward to it. Bit daunting, first holiday with the baby!

Oh I went there for lunch one day. A lovely place. It is daunting with baby in tow I know what you mean but you will be fine!! I'm sure there will be pharmacies near to you which sell the formula and also there is a Lidl not too far away (for nappies and wipes) if you have a car. The other great thing is that all the restaurants are so baby friendly over there. The baby never had so much attention!!
