I use Enfamil for Lola-Rose,and never had problems with it.

They do have Cow & Gate and Nestle so the choice is pretty wide.

Have fun in Hawaii!

I found this...

Some people use those vacation services that will buy all the stuff for you and ship it to where your staying... but they add convenience charges etc...

I found this little tid bit just now, noticing the sticker shock comment for Hawaii travelers like you... not sure if that's even meaningful considering the differences in our economies.

Here are some other options for you to consider for your upcoming trip:
Buy the items at your local grocery store and ship them yourself. This could be less expensive for you in the end, but consider the convenience factor. It’s more hassle-free to sit at home and select your supplies, enter your vacation destination address, and hand over your VISA number, without schlepping a box to UPS yourself.
Just bring all your baby supplies on the plane with you. Remember, though, with airlines starting to charge for extra bags, and increasing “heavy baggage” fees, you may not save any money in the end.
Find out if your hotel or resort offers grocery-stocking service. Again, you’ll want to compare the total price of this concierge service to a service like Babies Travel Lite.
Wait and buy the baby supplies once you arrive. In Hawaii, you may find yourself with sticker shock, however, since groceries are traditionally more expensive on the islands than in the continental U.S. Also, factor in whether you want to spend part of your first day on the glorious Hawaiian Islands hunting down the local Wal-Mart. You may want to take advantage of Babies Travel Lite, and spend your first day in paradise on the beach!
Kari, I hope you’ll let us know how you decide to get your baby gear to Hawaii. Best wishes for a great trip!

Ooooh when?

Emmea12uk · Oct 19th, 2008, 15:51 PM

Going in Jan/Feb for 6 -10 weeks. I am considering getting everything shipped to LA as the cost of his catheters (5/6 a day) could be as high as the shipping cost. I will look into that travel lite thing tho! Thanks!
