Baby formula
Hi we a quick question to all those who have had babies in the UK and have managed to obtain their visa’s
What baby formula milk can you get in Australia more importantly in Adelaide?
At the moment Tom (6 Months) is on SMA but if we are unable to get this would like to start him on something we now we can get before we go.
Any information would be much appreciated
Have done a search on this and not a great deal about brands available.

Re: Baby formula
Totally misinterpreted the title of this thread.
Thought it was about the birds and bees

Although we don't know the answer we are keeping your thread up the top of the page
We don't want to upset you.
Here was a previous thread where whisky confirmed SMA and other leading brands are available.

FWIW I traveled extensively in my youth and know you can get SMA (or very similar) in some quite some quite uncivilised places - managed to get hold of some on the edge of the Sahara once before taking said babe across said desert in an ancient jeep! So feel quite confident that a top-notch contry like Oz will have it.
For starters, these guys look like they sell it:

Good luck with the quest & have fun in Adelaide.

I was in Adelaide in February with my daughter and (almost) one year old grandson. We didn't want to switch him to cows milk just before such a major change so stuck with formula till we got back.
We found the supermarkets and chemists stocked an SMA-equivalent (can't remember what it was called but made by the same company) that was fine for my grandson.
Worth knowing though that they don't seem to do ready made up baby milk cartons like you get here in the UK - we had to buy sachets of powder for travelling and make it with water in the bottle as needed.
