A little bit of useful
information.....
If you are travelling with
babies or young children, you might find this page useful.
Milk
In France it is not possible to purchase
the same formula milk as it is in England. Therefore, if you use a particular brand, we suggest you bring sufficient milk
with you for the duration of your stay. The formula milk in France is similar, but having young children we know that
it is always worrying changing their milk. Additionally, it is about twice the cost as the formula milk in England.
For children that are no longer on formula milk, in France you can buy milk specifically for children between 10 and
36 months. This is loaded with extra vitamins etc. I used this with both my children and they loved it.
Nappies and baby wipes
It
is possible to buy all the branded nappies and baby wipes here. I find they are a little more expensive, but not much. However,
you cannot buy nappy sacks. Just a warning - unless you want very smelly bins, bring some with you.
Babies' medicine
The equivalent to Calpol
in France is called Doliprane. You can get this from pharmacies. They will need to know the weight of your baby
in kilos and the pharmacist will explain the correct dose for your baby. Be warned, that the most common form of giving
medicine to a baby in France is a supository. Make sure you ask for "by mouth" if you do not fancy
using a supository.
Doctors
We have a local doctor here and it is normally possible to see the Doctor the same day. Obviously, if it
is an emergency there will be no problem and the closest Hospital has a fantastic pediatric ward with its own Accident and
Emergency. If you do need to see a doctor whilst you are staying with us, we will obviously organise the appointment and accompany
you if you want us too.
Eating out
France is very family orientated and it is really easy to eat out with babies and small children.
Most restaurants have high chairs and all do childrens menus. Some restaurants nearby have a fab selection of children's
meals (not just things like chicken nuggets!) along with play areas and other things to keep them occupied. We can make
recommendations and reservations whilst you are here, and if all else fails, we could even book a babysitter.
