I am traveling with my 10 month baby, to Central America p.s. advise on formula feeding and any good tips, on?

what to take, the baby takes Organic Similac powder formula but the Doctor told me to take ready to feed formula, so that I dont have to take so much water, I am concern with the water over there, any advise please....
Thank-you for the advise, I appreciated, I am going to El Salvador, my husband is from there... Thank you

take your own formula and buy bottled water or boil the water from the taps. i live in the caribbean where the water is safe to drink but i can't vouch for central america. have fun!

You should be concerned about water in Central America! Often the Coca Cola is safer! But what you can and SHOULD do is boil the water. Then after you do this, aerate it...pour it between two clean containers a few times to take the "taste " out of it. I found that boiled water tasted terrible and had a really hard time drinking it. Ready to go formula is a good idea.

Better yet, check out an outdoor supply store for compact water purifiers. They are not terribly costly and might save you a lot of headache later.

Bananas there are fabulous. Eat (and feed baby) any fruit with a peel...mangos, bananas, oranges. These are great because the fruit inside is sterile. Avoid street vendors selling ice cream or meat or anything else where bacteria can grow quickly.

And wash your hands every time you handle currency.

But aside from that have a fabulous trip! Where are you going in Central America?
