Melamine Scare.

While this Melamine brouhaha is shocking and is causing tremendous panic and even paranoia to most countries here in Asia (if not worldwide), I'm a bit relaxed and isn't alarmed for my little Asher. Because I'm sure that what he's drinking is 100% Melamine free. Again, another advantage of exclusive breastfeeding.

So I guess this will be a wake up call to all Mommies out there especially those who are able but adamant to breastfeeding. Go for it all the way if you can. Breastfeeding is the only natural and still the best means to feed and sustain your young...and not a cow's milk.

But I have to admit, I'm a bit daunted too for myself and for the other adults in our household because of those China made milk products the government and other countries have recalled. Even the popular brands Snickers and M&Ms aren't spared. And granting that there are locally manufactured chocolates and dairy products, we're not really sure from which country they've imported the raw milk materials. And what more to be concerned about is the Fontera manufactured Anmum milk. Earlier this month, it appeared to be Sanlu's ,which is part owned by New Zealand’s Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd., milk powder had been tainted with Melamine. I'm an Anmum drinker the moment I learned I was pregnant until now that I'm lactating. So should I stop drinking Anmum for a while until this is cleared or what?

Oh well, let's just hope for the best.
