Freaking out a little...

I've been trying to find what brands of formula are available in Korea and I can't find a darn thing.  All of the shopping websites are in Korean with no English option and I can't read Korean yet.  I'm not worried about Chinese formula there as Korea has banned products even from New Zealand containing melamine.  I would just like to know what they have and how much it will cost.  I'm definitely taking several canisters in the suitcase and am shipping a box ahead of us.

Yikes. You are a brave woman to move to another country!

Are you guys military? ?On base there should be American brands available....

I'm starting to think I'm a stupid one for agreeing to do this.  Things would have been much easier if I had just produced milk.  Grrr...

Can you just have family send you boxes as necessary?

Hmmm ok that doesn't work - what will your health insurance be like when you go over there? ?Maybe your pedi over there can recommend a comparable brand?

MarlaDossett

It'll be pricey, but I might have to.  Hopefully there won't be issues with customs.

DH's school will pay for 50% of his insurance and DD and I will have to be added on.  From what I understand, insurance isn't too bad cost-wise and covers a lot, so we'll definitely have good insurance.  I think the only thing I can do on base is get her vaccinations, but I'm not positive on that one.  I'll have to get in touch with the U.S. Embassy there.
