Traveling with 11 month old in Paris: Question about baby food

What brands of baby foods and formula are available in paris? Which would you recommend? I cant speak or read french
I am travelling with my 11 month old child for the forst time and am quite nervous. How difficult is Paris with a toddler.

Thanks so much for any advice/ recommendations

You're lucky baby will probably be feasting on the BEST baby food in the world and will probably snub the Gerber & Beechnut after returning home.
You may want to pack powder formula of the brand you normally use, so baby can have something familiar.

Hi

Having travelled with my children a lot I found it easier to take a good supply of foods that they were used to and introducing new foods along with the older, comfy foods. Using a partial jar of each allowed me to stretch their "old faithfuls" farther and get them onto some "foreign" foods.

As to formulas - I took powdered formula with me as nothing has ever satisfied my children but "their own" formula.

Unless things have really changed (and I doubt that they have) I would be cautious of being in a foreign country with a child who refuses to eat.

Well for jarred food you're going to need to learn the names of the various foods so you'll know to pick what baby likes. If you get a basic food translator (B&N has a pocket one I believe) you should be able to pick out the names of the various meats, veggies and fruits.

Hi NYG,

IIRC, there is a supermarket at 79 Rue de Seine, right opposite the greengrocer, that has an infant's section with Gerber products.
