Nappies, infant formula and baby care

The baby aisle covers the products bought in volume and on short notice: nappies, infant formula, wipes and care products.

Nappies are chosen by weight rather than age, since the ranges deliberately overlap between sizes. Moving up a size as soon as night-time leaks appear works better than tightening the tabs.

Infant formula follows a strict age logic: stage 1 covers the first six months, stage 2 takes over at weaning. Value packs cut the cost per use, provided the shelf life after opening is respected.

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose a nappy size?
By the child’s weight, printed on every pack. If night-time leaks appear while the weight still matches, move up a size rather than fastening tighter.
How long does an opened tin of infant formula keep?
Four weeks at most, resealed and stored dry at room temperature. Do not refrigerate it: condensation makes the powder clump.
What is the difference between stage 1 and stage 2 formula?
Stage 1 covers birth to six months as the sole source of nutrition. Stage 2, richer in iron and protein, supports weaning from six months onwards.
