Re: Same brand, different name...
I think your just here to spoil things for everyone and any Australian would be ashamed to be call an Australian if they have to be as rude as you. You are 'bestowing' your time here as your a sad and lonely person and I feel very sorry for you.
Why you think someone is stupid because they have asked a simple question I really dont understand
But keep up the pointless work your doing as your doing Australia proud.

You're an embarrassment to your country and your countrymen.

Re: Same brand, different name...
Mange tout and snow peas are actually different. You can buy both in the UK if you go to the posher supermarkets 
Mange tout should be totally flat where as snow peas have slight peas in there. I actually took some normal peas in pods into work one day here and was shelling them and they all thought I was mad as they all said they would think they were snow peas and just eat the lot!
Also, pickled pork is not the same as gammon (not the stuff they sell around my way at least).

Anyway, back on topic...
Babyfood: Rafferty's Garden, very much like Ella's Kitchen but not the same brand. I wonder who copied who... (please don't have a fight about it though)!

Re: Same brand, different name...
I check my daughters empty can of aptamil which we brought before coming over here and found that it is manufactured by milupa and i dont think it is available here as i remember checking it with Aptamil online chat days before our departure.I still got the near full can of karicare which i bought 6months ago in the shed.My daughter never liked it.
I didn't get on with Karicare at all and am finding that bub really likes S26, which is made by the same people who make SMA (and which the UK health nurse told me was the worst formula you could give your kid!!)

Yeah, but Milupa is owned by Nutricia now. I read it in a nursing mag (I'm not a health nurse, but trying to work out why all the health nurses have been told to say "don't feed her formula"). Anyway, it's prob. a moot point as the composition might have differed.

General consensus from our own Chocolate Consultants, who made it their mission to find a decent Oz chocolate, was that is was gluey & tasteless. Further research from other Consultants resident in the Melbourne area backed up our findings & consequently we had to bring our own supply on our most recent visit!

Re: Same brand, different name...
That's true too. How are you finding the health nurses over here? We have a local child health centre and they let you get on with it and weigh the bub yourself, whereas back home you practically had to hand bub over to them with all the paperwork and get told what to do NannyState style.
