Aptamil follow on milk

Post by e-richard »

Its been mentioned before, but I'm now looking very specifically for Aptamil 1 LIQUID in individual cartons, not the powder.

We've tried Intermarche, Pingo Doce, both pharmacies in CVO, and have been told that "you can only get the powdered version in the Algarve".

Is there anyone with knowledge to the contrary ?
I'll be very grateful for any info.

I think Baptista in Praia da Luz has follow-on milk in cartons, but don't know the brand. Best to contact them: http://www.supermercado-baptista.com/?page_id=13

Thanks Ditzy, will try them, and report back.

[update] They responded quite quickly to email, but only stock the powdered stuff :cry:

Phone the maufacturer and ask for the name of their wholesalers in Portugal, then ring or e-mail them, providing they do have, and ask for the names of the retail outlets in the Algarve, alternatively. if the aren't any can you buy direct from them. Simp's!

Missing an opertunity there Mr Pato, you could get it shipped over from U.K. and open up a stall in the Square selling it to the Yummie Mummies. :D :D

We looked/searched for similar back in June but only found powdered. We also tried the s/mkt with the petrol station just off 125 at Lagoa and Continente at Retail Park. Did find other liquid starter milk.
