Been there twice, so I guess I've evidence enough to form my own opinions about that. Be aware that even if it says "Pampers" on the box, what you get in one country will very likely behave differently from what you get somewhere else. Case in point, last time I had the opportunity to shop for this kind of stuff, the exact same model and size behaved differently enough to be noticeable, depending on whether the small print on the package said "Made in Germany" or "Made in Hungary". The same is very likely true of HiPP. So if you're really very picky, you may end up having to find a Müller store or similar where they tend to stock imported stuff rather than local manufacture of the same brand. On the other hand, mine were never too particular as long as they got their regular pound of flesh, medium-rare; it turns out there's no substantial difference between South Africa or Greece or any other place you care to mention. If anything, babies tend to adapt more easily than their parents. -- Brane
