Babies and pets

Be Ready asks you to plan for babies and pets too. You know how much they get through better than we do.

What you need

Ready-to-feed formula

Not powder: you may not be able to boil water.

Nappies and wipes

Pet food

Whatever they already eat. Their water is in the water total.

A bowl for their water

A collapsible one folds flat in the box.

Where to get it

Formula, nappies and wipes: the supermarket or a pharmacy, in the brands you already use. For feeding questions, ask your health visitor, pharmacist or GP, or call NHS 111.

What to look for

  • Ready-to-feed formula, not powder: you may not be able to boil water
  • The nappies and wipes you already use
  • The food your pet already eats

What we'd skip

  • Stocking up on a new brand of anything. Babies and pets have opinions.
