Tips from mums in France:

  • Most mothers use 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 1yr+, 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 opposed to UHT milk, is often in the cheese section
  • Baby yoghurts and fruit purees can be found in fridge sections of supermarkets I know English babies who have Milupa formula at home and were fed Gallia on holiday, without noticing the change
  • Pharmacies have a range of hypoallergenic and anti-reflux formulas
