Re: Formula milk info needed

[Guest guest]

Hmm, well AFAIK most brands of formula are different from place to

place [the brand not the milk] so I doubt you could get eg Aptamil in

Dubai. Basically it's OK to change formula, although it's not

recommended to do it all the time. Many ppl find that the first

formula they try [chosen for price, availability of sachets/ready to

feed, recommended by friend etc] doesn't agree with their baby and

they have to switch once or twice.

I don't know the legality in Dubai but in the UK I believe that all

formulas have to have certain proportions of most nutrients so are

more or less the same [although one brand may have a new ingredient

that the others haven't invented yet such as the LCPs which now seem

to be in all the milks]

The one thing I would suggest is that she try and avoid formula made

by Nestle/Carnation because of the massive boycott against them for

the unscrupulous marketing of their product which has lead to the

deaths of millions of babies in the poorer countries [and, arguably

in richer ones too] I know most NCT types know all about this, but

just in case!
