Baby Feeding Supplies in HCMC

Baby formula for children under 6 months can only be sold, by law, by pharmacies/drug stores/chemists (a point you might emphasise in your lecture) because of the plethora of fakes coming in from China.

Co-op Mart (the biggest here) carries other formula for older children (as do many stores) but for guaranteed non-knock-offs buying from a reputable chain or store is safest.

You will find most Vietnamese women are dedicated "Best Before" readers because of the situation in China.

There is a new Giants store in District 7 that has the widest range of feeding accoutrements I have seen sold here in HCMC. Ha Noi, as usual, will have less.

As for the Haberman feeder < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haberman_Feeder >, I will check next week when the larger stores open up again.(Tet break)

thank you that is very helpful and I will definitely add where to purchase the formulas .... I have 2 days in HCMC before we start our seminar so hoping to get to purchase the equipment - but will try the place in district 7 .... its been a great help!

Following store openings after the Tet vacation, I personally checked out five major supermarket chains and even roped in a friend who is paid to check out stores around the country.

No luck with your special baby bottle!

Perhaps you could: (1) Bring one with you; (2) Contact your sponsors to this visit and ask them.

I also asked a doctor at a clinic with country-long (VietNam is 50 kilometres at it's narrowest and  over 2,000 kilometres long) and his colleague said she had no knowledge of supplies in VietNam.

Sorry we weren't successful.
