The Modelo sells SMA and Cow and Gate in Tins But not Ready Made
They do sell a ready made babymilk but it is not SMA it is a Portuguese Brand

Thanks very much for the info.

Much appreciated.

Layneybird - bring the sachets of SMA with you, my little one was just a year when we went to Portugal last year and I brought 3 boxes of SMA progress sachets with me(plus a couple of ready made cartons for the plane journeys) . Once you take the sachets out of the box, they take up very little room in a suitcase.

Not sure about the SMA Gold but the progress sachets made up a 7oz bottle - look for the bottled water with the baby symbol on it as that's good for making up bottles and we just kept the bottle on the countertop as DD took them at room temp...you don't need to boil that water. Has your hotel room got a microwave? If it does, we used the microwave steriliser bags for her bottles...brilliant invention...if not, buy a big plastic tub over there and bring your milton tabs with you...at least you can get rid of the tub when you leave...

Hope this helps...

Last year we also took sma sachets. When these ran out we bought ready made formula but its not SMA. We tried 3 different types until we found one the wee fella liked. The smallest cartons we found were 1 litre though, not the small ones. You will get something that will suit I'm sure.

There was a shop just off Albufeira square(going up towards the old bus terminal) that sells british goods like Heinz beans etc and I'm sure they sold cartons. They will cost you though.

The shop is called M & J.

im sure if you go into floyds bar at cerro branco the bar man will lend you a kettle i borrowed it from him through this link met a lot of nice people into to bargin

Thanks very much everyone for the advice and tips, much appreciated.
