We have spent around 2 months in one of the most beautiful and diverse countries of south America, Brasil. Samba, Capirinia, Capoeira, beach, sand, sun, culture and happy people that love children. Littlebabyexplorer has charmed her way with everyone and we have had a great time! Next time though I will bring my own baby food. Nestle has some kind of monopoly it would seem on the baby food selection. It is all that is available. I mean even in great big cities like Rio and Sao Paulo I could only find the same food. No handy fruit squeezes (like on the picture above) or nibbles to find anywhere. And Nestle only have about 5 different dinners. And impossible to find a baby porridge without sugar. I am happy I am still breast feeding and not depending on formula! Since littlebabyexplorer was only 7 months when we arrived in Brasil we decided not to give her "normal" food. I have been to Brasil many times in the past and never had any trouble, but just as an extra precaution we decided to only give her baby food. Little did I know about the baby food situation. I remember reading in an guide book from 2000 that they recommended you bring your own baby food to Brasil, but I thought surely 12 years and one booming economy later that they would have a great big improvement on this department. But NO! So lesson learnt bringing my own baby food next time ;)
