Advice please: travelling to the UK
Hello ladies
I need a little bit of help if someone can! I'm bringing my 3 month old over to the UK for a month on Wednesday and am making last minute preparations. I formula-feed so I've already bought in enough tins of formula to last us the whole time as I could not find the same brand online in the UK and i didn't want to change her milk.
As we live in Spain, we use bottled water to make up bottles. I'm a bit reluctant to suddenly give her UK tap water as I don't know how her little stomach might react. When adults come here they react to the water, and it's no different for us the other way round as we're not used to UK water.
Does anyone know any suitable brands of bottled water for babies in the UK? I've been searching online but can't seem to find an answer. It's the recommended method here, but over there it seems to be the other way round!
Any help would be great

The advice here is to make bottles up with cooled boiled tap water. I remember reading somewhere about being careful about bottled water due to mineral content but can't remember which one was recommended as best if you needed to use it? Hope someone can help you with it.
Good luck for your trip

I hope someone has heard which brand in the UK is ok! Someone mentioned Evian might be, but I can't confirm it online

So it looks like Evian is the answer then. I'll make sure we've got some in our host's place. Kayssis, you're much better at Google than I am then.. I tried googling the mineral content of waters and found nothing! xxx
