Babies question

I was asked what of the following can be bought at the supermarkets (or equivalent) in Jogja:

• disposable nappies
• wipes
• baby food in jars or tins
• baby snacks
• bottled water
• formula for babies and toddlers

Hmmm...

Well disposables are easy here - they are called pampers or diapers to everyone, and as far as I can tell everyone uses them. You do not seem to have the upper end of choice we have in Australia, and not the same brands, but they are here. Wipes are easy.

You can get baby food and snacks. Though, I got to say I can't guarantee it will be the same as at home. Chances are it will have more preservatives, sugar, salt...

Bottled water is everywhere and cheap as even the locals don't drink from the tap.

Formula you can get, though it isn't cheap - over 100 000 rupiah per can. I don't know how much it costs at home. Everyone here breastfeeds so it's probably not in great demand. In the supermarket I went to the other day they had display cans in the aisle that you couldn't remove - you had to go to the cashier and ask for it. I was told this is because of the risk of it getting stolen.

While we're on the topic... I was worried about breastfeeding, given the muslim dress code of covering shoulders and knees, but turns out it is more accepted than in Australia. You never ever get anyone looking uncomfortable, or looking away as you might at a cafe in Australia. It is just completely normal her.
