Tips from a mum in Australia:
- The tap water is quite safe to use in formula (boiled first obviously). Pre-prepared Nan Formulas are available, though harder to find.
Nappies, wipes and formula can be found at pharmacies and supermarkets, babyfood tends to only be available at supermarkets.

Tip from a mum in Former Yugoslavia:

Tips from mums in France:
- Nearly every mother I know uses Evian to make up baby bottles.
- Babybio foods, available from Le Grand Epiciere section at the supermarket Bon Marche, have no added starches or sugars.
- Supermarkets sell lait de croissance, baby milk for children over one year, in cartons or plastic bottles. Some need teats added.
- Lait de croissance can be handy when travelling as fresh milk can be hard to get quickly. Fresh milk, as opped to UHT milk, is often in the cheese section!
- Baby yoghurts and fruit purees found in fridge sections of supermarkets.
- I know English babies who take Milupa formula at home and took Gallia on holiday, without noticing the change.
- Pharmacies do a range of hypoallergenic and anti-reflux formulas too.
