Italian baby dry food and dry milk 4-6 month

Hello! Does anyone know where in London to find Italian "latte di proseguimento", follow up milk for 4-6 month old babies -or English equivalent-? Also basic dry meat (liofilizzati di carne), Italian or English without salt or sugar added, (4 month +)? Plasmon and Mellin preferred. It seems that Heinz baby dry food, Cow and Gate, etc. include a lot of stuff beside meat, while I'd rather incorporate dry meat in veggie soups prepared by myself, as recommended by an Italian pediatrician. Thank you! :-)

i have never heard of them but wouldnt give a 4 month old meat at all... would not eve think about meat until 6 months+

in this country we seem to have formular milk stage 1 (from birth)
stage 2, for hungrier babies (frm birth)
stage 3 ... "follow on" milk with extra iron... from 6 months

then manufactures cash in on 'toddler' milk, when cows milk is fine by them regardless!

You cannot find Mellin in the Uk . I found it very hard to find anything similar to Italy. Liofilizzati I bought and had sent over when ran out when in the Uk this summer. And second stage milk like Italy mellin / Plasmon 2 I found that SMA and Aptimil had similar % of ingredients to Italy and went down well with DD.
I have just found that HIPP I think inported to Italy from germany does very similar products to Mellin/ Plasmon seeimg as HIPP is popular in the Uk you might find something there.
