Organic Valley brand, they have single serve 12packs. I was so excited when I found them today! Thought of you :-) </p> <p>@Alivoo01: I think I missed your response last time, thanks for this info! I am going to take the shelf-stable milk JUST in case, but its good to know that they provided it and your LO adjusted. I may be concerned over nothing at this point, but I figure better safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357732 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 09:22:58 +0000 Alivoo01 2357732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Cancun with our 17 month old last year and the resort was all inclusive and supplied milk. It didn't taste like our milk, but DS got used to it pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357597 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 00:10:17 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2357597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: yay! Glad you were able to find a solution. It's hard to 100% control what they eat on vacation. Sometimes I just have to give myself permission to let go a little bit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357327 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:50:23 +0000 SweetiePie 2357327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Spoon: @autumnlove: I just found out that FreshDirect (which I use weekly) sells the little 8 ounce shelf milk in WHOLE milk! Reviews are good too.<br /> Thank you for helping me think of this! It seems perfect, even just to keep in the diaper bag, not just for travel.<br /> @Mrs Spoon: I also try to do organic (milk is the only organic item I am a stickler about) but since we'll be traveling I'll just shrug it off this time.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357324 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:41:38 +0000 SweetiePie 2357324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @Mrs Spoon: Thanks! I also thought about the boxed milk but wasn't sure since it's not whole? But maybe for just 4 days it's not a big deal. we have his 15 month appt a few days before we leave so I'll ask her, too. </p> <p>@Oxana: Interesting thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357290 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:02:26 +0000 Oxana 2357290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure you won't need to do this, but if you wanted to be extra careful, you could boil the milk for a few minutes (in a cup in the microwave or on a stove). Let it cool, stir it a bit, and serve. </p> <p>I've visited friends who only drink raw (unpasteurized) milk, and I've done this in preparing milk for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357281 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:49:29 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2357281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DD to Puerto Vallarta last year when she was 14 months. We just gave her what the hotel had which was pasteurized. I also put some single serve boxed milk from Horizon in our checked suitcase to take with and keep in our room's mini fridge. We'd use those first thing in the AM or when the kitchen was closed. DD normally drinks whole organic milk so neither was my ideal situation, but she had no issues and it was only for a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357280 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:48:50 +0000 autumnlove 2357280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went on vacation with our friends and their 18 month old and they had no issues with boxed milk that they purchased at a local market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357276 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:38:46 +0000 SweetiePie 2357276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: duh, good idea! I didn't even think about emailing them. I'll do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357268 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:32:07 +0000 Tanjowen 2357268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to an all-inclusive resort in Dominican Republic a few months back with our toddler and they has boxed milk available, including soy and lactose free! Zero issues for our toddler.</p> <p>I would bet it's the same for your resort but I would email them and ask to put your mind at ease. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-toddler-milk#post-2357171 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 15:20:15 +0000 SweetiePie 2357171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might be a silly question, but any idea what I can do about milk in Mexico? We are traveling for the first time since my son started drinking WCM instead of formula. Before I would have used bottled water and made the bottles as we needed them.<br /> Now that he will drink milk in a straw cup - where can I buy it? I assume it's safe? We will be staying at a huge all inclusive kid friendly resort. It's been a few years but I think I remember that everything at the big resorts, even water, is safe. Right? </p>
