Disgruntled Baby Shop customer (you all know which store I am referring to!)

yep, the apples are soft anyway, so it's not really necessary. and once baby starts to chew, then you don't need to blend it at all.

in case you're wondering, you can add a little brown sugar and you have the pie filling for an apple pie, the base for apple crisp/crumble, or apple sauce to go with roast pork.

By the way, you can get Infacol in local pharmacies. The tiny hole-in-the-wall pharmacy in Happy Valley opposite Wellcome has EVERYTHING. (It's like the Tardis).

Yeah... You get infacol even at mannings!! I got mine from the one at IFC..

Thanks for your posts everyone. I am starting to feel like I am the only one who hates that store!

The other point I would make is that infacol, baby food etc can all be replaced by an alternative or can just not be given to a baby. It is not going to have detrimental impact on them.

With baby formula from B2B, you have no alternative places to buy it, you have no substitues... your only option is to change brand (which we are advised against) or let your baby starve!

It is like going to a supermarket and being told... "sorry we have no food left, our ordering systems and tracking of purchases is really poor so we did not order enough food to feed people!"

no, it's bumps to babes

happy, while i understand and sympathise with your situation, i don't know why you didn't switch to an easier to obtain formula?

my kids always took which ever formula was on sale (except stuff from china). they never had a problem. of course, we tried to limit the number of different kinds we tried, but they really didn't have a problem with trying out a different type.

i hope you have found something a little easier to obtain for your little one now.

Now, don't I feel silly. In fairness to me I did try my local places for infacol and got no joy... and it was early baby days...

Lesson learned, should've posted on Geobaby and asked all you guys!

LisainHK, if only there was Dragons Den, Hong Kong, not sure they'd have me with my mother-brain though.... ;-)

Just curious which brand you are using that is only at B2B?

hi, am curious as well.. which formula is it ? and why shouldnt it be changed to something more readily available ?

 

[zac08]

totally agree with the others - if this formula brand is so hard to come by, just switch brands to one more readily available! no harm at all in that. sounds like it would save you a lot of grief.
