Baby Formula

Post by em123 » Wed, 19 May 2010 8:59 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know if/where you can buy ready made baby formula? Doing a 13 hour journey with a 5 month old so thought it may be a bit less painful! ;)

Thanks!

Pediasure do ready made stuff, but if your are traveling by plane you cant take it on board.

Sorry to disagree but check with the airline - I've flown both BA and SIA with unopened readymade formula. Also all the airlines will let you through screening with your bottle premixed (I've done this on pretty much every major carrier). Also, if you are flying long haul and you carry powder you can request large bottles of water at check in when you are getting your boarding passes and they will give them to you when you get on board.

They must have lighten up a bit, when I traveled the poor guy behind me had to empty his ready made formula, I had to taste the milk powders. That could be American paranoia creeping in.

I flew from Australia to Vietnam in January, Vietnam to Singapore in May. On both flights I had some ready-made formula and some boiled water in baby bottles. I didn't have any problems at all. I wasn't asked to taste the formula or the water.

Sorry Em123, I haven't been here long enough to have seen where to buy ready-made formula.
