Ems and I are off to visit friends in the South Island for a few days. My questions is, is it okay to measure out the amount of formula I will need for those few days (Ems is BF but has a bottle of formula in the evenings), put it in a tupperware container and take on my checked luggage? Will it travel okay? What do you other FF mums and dads do when travelling out of town for a few days? Suggestions/recommendations would be great, thanks. -------------

you can get nifty containers I think Avent make them and they hold 3 seperate feeds I would probably just take the tin ------------- http://lilypie.com">    [/url]

I usually take a tin and the avent formula container thing. Then just take that out with us but leave the tin wherever we are staying. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Staying 5 nights so only going to need 5 feeds so don't want to take a whole tin down. Using the Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottle (just have the one for the one feed a day) so don't want to have to take extra bottles and bits and bobs. Have used the Karicare sachets before and I did think about just taking some of those down with me, but currently using Farleys formula which Ems is now used to and it comes in a tin only (they don't do sachets). Would it be okay to swap her back to a different formula for a few days i.e. would it upset her tummy or anything? -------------

If i go out I put 4 scoops of formula in a Mini Glad bag (the teeny weeny ones) and also pack a clean spoon too. ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

kaiz231 - reading your post has given me an idea! I don't have the glad bags, but rather than go out and buy some, I've just remembered I have swisspers 20 breast milk storage bags in the cupboard waiting to be used. They will be perfect. I'll measure out 4 scoops for each feed into a bag and take those down with me. Thanks  -------------

I would use glad bags also as I find our tommee tippee dispenser thing isn't airtight and the powder goes funny after a day or so. -------------
