Hello,

I am from the US and will be traveling to Switzerland (Zurich area and St. Moritz area). I was wondering what baby formulas are sold in Switzerland. Currently I use Nestle Good Start Gentle Plus - but I've called Nestle and they told me this is not sold in Switzerland. If anyone could help that would be great! I'm just looking for a similar brand or type. If it's not easy to get I can just bring extra from the US but I'm trying to limit how much I'm bringing.

Thanks,

M

I use Aptamil by Milupa, it's 30chf for 800 grams. The selection here is nothing like in the States. I'm not sure of the other types, sorry wish I could be more help, good luck!

I am from the US too and there are not any US brands here. I went from Enfamil to Aptamil which is a swiss brand. You can also purchase Holle which is "bio" or organic or Adapta is also popular if your child has allergies. Hope this helps some!

NestleĢ makes Beba HA (hypoallergenic) for children with a sensitive digestion. I was quite satisfied.

Otherwise you can always ask the americanmarket.com (or.ch) if they'll ship it over for you.

Frustrating to change something as important as formula, and it's a pity you can't find the same product world-wide.

Hi,

I had the same problem in reverse when visiting the states. We use the Nestle line here, and when visiting the states, also used the Nestle brand. I also found the names were different, but figured there were probably some similarities, so my children had no problems with the Nesle Swiss and Nesle US switch. Keep in mind my children were about 1 year when this happend and had no allergy or other problems than reflux. If you child is very young or is sensitive, you may want to bring it along just to be safe.
