Folks,
Can someone please tell me if Aptamil milk (baby formula – Infant milk No.1) is available anywhere in the San Francisco bay area? If not, what is the US alternative/popular brand?
I am thinking of buying six months worth of stock (around 25 boxes, 900g each) and bring it with us next week. Do you think I should declare this to the customs? It's for our newborn and we have previously experienced that changing the milk brand causes a lot of issues so I don’t want to take any risks in an unfamiliar territory.

Have you tried Googling to see if you can buy it on-line? Think Amazon. ![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Yes it should be declared at customs...you should also check on the government's website to see if you can bring it into the country.
Just taken a look and it seems a small quantity is allowed:

Agree it would be a good idea to bring some supply if the baby is that little and you have had previous problems. We also used Aptamil in the UK! But if you want to try US formula there are a couple of good brands IMO. Just go and read the ingredients and you can see for yourself. Sorry I can't remember what brand(s) we used but I chose them after spending half an hour in the baby aisle reading ingredients! Might have been Enfamil and/or Similac.
I was breastfeeding though, we only used formula when the kids were 6 months +
Also, what about the water here? I have read that there is a lot more chlorine here than in the UK and other stuff too. We don't drink much tap water anymore. Mix the powder with filtered water or bottled? Just something to think about.

I see it on Amazon but also check out Diapers.com which I think it's an Amazon spin off and you usually get a good discount for your first order and there are often good discount codes available and free shipping.

Babies R Us sells the main popular brands in the US, you can buy them in their stores or by mail-order.
My friend preferred to use organic formula, so she used the 'Earth's Best' brand. However it is more expensive and often not sold in many supermarkets or pharmacies; however Babies R Us sells it and it is a bit cheaper on Amazon.com

We import our baby's milk from britstore.co.uk
By the time you pay for the formula and the postage (2 day delivery) it's about e same price or slightly cheaper than buying US formula.
Be wary of using regular bottled water for babies bottles. Most aren't recommended for babies. We use boiled regular water but there are plenty of baby waters around in the shops.

On a serious note, the supply was plentiful at the birth of our first child but then she lost interest and it just got dried up, i think!– bloody useless, eh! (I hope she is not reading this – I’m really looking forward to the shepherd’s pie for the tea tonight)

Does boiling get rid of chlorine though? Filter seems good (too).

Yes. The solubility of a gas decreases as temperature increases so the chlorine will simply boil away. It has a boiling point of -29F anyway so once it is no longer soluble, it's gone. Filters never hurt, of course.
For when we used formula (for reference, we used Enfamil, did the job for our needs), we just bought that nursery water which is essentially distilled water, for mixing.

In Dubai we get a 4 gallon bottled water delivered every 2 days, it's one of the leading brands and it contains:
Sodium: 3.3 mg per litre
Chloride: 1 mg per litre
They sometime run out and we have to buy another brand that contains:
Sodium: 10 mg per litre
Chloride: 47 mg per litre
and some minerals![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
For the newborn, we boil the above bottled water.
