International travel with infant- food question

We are going to Grand Cayman next month with our 3 yo and 10 m old. Just wondering what I should do for food for my 10 m old?! She still eats mostly baby food and I really don't want to pack a weeks worth of food as it will take up a lot of space. Plus we already have 2 strollers and car seats plus toys and all of their other belongings. What would you do? Buy for there or bring it with you? I know it will be more expensive there as we've been to the island before. Oh, I do plan on bringing some in my carry on for the trip down. TIA

Call the hotel to ask about local grocery stores for baby food.  But you can also bring it and then that space will be for souvenirs.  I have found it works great to bring extras like diapers and then have space for the way home.

when we travelled with dd & she was still a picky eater I just packed a carry on suitcase with all her food & checked it. That way I had an empty bag for stuff I bought while there to bring home, and I knew I had food that she'd eat :)

Ask on Trip advisor message boards for GC what kind of grocery stores they have available.  Are you renting a car, based on 2 carseats, if so, that maybe less of a problem.  We just went to Mexico with friends with 9 month old and they had all food packed.   I would pack food to be sure I have exactly what is needed.
