Does anyone know if you can buy Cow & Gate Formula Milk from any of the stores such as walmart in orlando?????

As far as I'm aware, Cow & Gate isn't available in Florida as the US has lots of its own brands of milk. You can get it delivered to you but it's quite expensive. I've DM'd the link to you.

You best bet, because your baby is probably well settled on C & G, is to take a supply of it with you so that you don't have to change it just for your holiday and risk upsetting your baby.

we had this when my daughter came to visit but she just brought her own, just in case there were any tummy upsets. Immigration asked if she had ant food with her and she just told them baby food, they were fine as it was it her case. but be aware you can not make up the formula for the flight, the powder must stay separate.

When our son Barney was 6 months old, we took him on his first Florida trip. We had both been made redundant so went for a whole month! I had been told that getting his usual formula (SMA) may prove tricky, so we took enough sachets for the whole month!! Plus the steriliser and a kettle too! This was before we had the villa so we were staying in hotels. The baby food was also different brands to the UK but there was loads of choice so no problem there.

Hi, I have this problem in a couple of months time. My baby is on Hipp Organic which I know I won't be able to get over there. When we took our middle daughter when she was 4 months I bought a tin of milk powder in walgreens and remember a lot were made by carnation. They supply the Disney baby centres too. I didn't see any UK brands over there at all.

For maya we just take our own from here in the uk. She is on amptamil & hipp neither are available in orlando so we took lots the first time (when she was 4.5 mths old) but as she was 1 year in Aug when we last went and on solids we took less. Just remember to take a little more than you think you will need for the flight say 1 to 3 more portions extra incase there are any delays. We had to taste 1 in aug too not very nice but we managed.

The other thing to consider alkso when taking it is not to pack it all in one suitcase just in case it goes astray. Spread it out over your cases and then if one should not arrive with the others you will still have some. As the hand luggage allowance has been eased now you should be able to take a couple of tins in your hand luggage with no problem.

When I took DD to New Zealand I called the manufacturer of my brand of baby milk and asked them if it was available. It was but it was called something different. Same stuff different label so I would never have known by looking. They also told me which stores I could find it in. It was great as I only needed to take a little with me and buy more when i got there.

Would save all that room in the cases!

Just double checked on the Hipp website and they have a list of stockists abroad but sadly it said this

'We regret that HiPP products are not available in the USA, Australia or New Zealand'
