Too much chemicals in our milk powder and child development

toddles:
Actually, I love that warm closeness with the kid. Unbeatable!!minnie,
i think it's ok. I'm still nursing my dd twice a day.
natural antibodies. cannot find anywhere else. size is relative lah. healthy is best.
but i think i need to drink more milk myself!
My son was hardly ill until I stopped b'feeding. Then he had his first major fever - it hit 40.5 and he almost had a fit! But what to do? Nearly 2 yrs old already. Got to stop some day.

I breastfed my kids till 8 mths old. I used to wonder if I made the right decision as the other formula-fed babies seem to be much bigger
.
Definitely right decision! Bigger doesn't mean better or healthier. -
smurf:
That was what that kept me going as well, at least for DS, think he was on full breastmilk till 18 mths. DD, on the other hand, suffered from my ignorance as a first-time mummyoh, breastfeeding is the best...best to breastfeed until the baby is 2 yr of age.
cow milk goes to calf, mother's milk goes to baby...
cow milk has dunno how many times protein richer than breast milk. and most cow protein goes into poo poo anyway.

Busymum is right. big or small, doesn't matter. i hate it when some people said, why your kid so skinny, blah blah...
hmm, when my bro was young, my mum, being the traditional one, kept feeding him, until he was quite plump, as a toddler and as child...when he grew up, he complained to my mum, saying that he is fat/plump because of her. and he has to go for operation to make the stomach smaller. -
dimsum:
Really, what thread is that? Must go and read up.
I read about this too....and I recalled in another thread, some mummies said their girls start having period really young (ate alot of chicken).
Is it only chicken, what about pork or other meat? Personally, I hardly eat chicken these days, even though it is white meat and supposedly more healthy...dimsum:
Other fish like cod fish? I think pork should be ok, right?Thus, I hardly feed my boy chicken but alot of salmon. But now, I read from here about the high mercury content in salmon! Oh dear, what meat can he consume now?

:faint: So vain! -

Will check out the sakura chicken. What about egg? Heard certain eggs are better?That's why I limit chicken to my kids to once a week. But they also eat chicken in school too
. I usually buy the sakura chicken (sold in fairprice) as they claim they don't use antibiotics (not sure abt hormones). Also avoid eating the neck (even for pork) and wings as I heard that's where all the hormones accumulate.
I'd go for organic chicken if it's not that ridiculously expensive. It's not like before when all chicken are free range and organic w/o putting a lable on it. -
Blobbi:
Actually, I didn't have adverse reaction, but I just prefer to rely on natural sources.
Hats off to you, Busymom! I'm tremendously lucky because I didn't have any adverse reactions to the bowl of pills pregnant women have to take every morning, bleah.
About DS' eczema ... I'm suspecting it's seaweed bcos of the timing. Sugar is so hard to cut because that means no juice even. Will leave that to the last resort ...
Allegic to seaweed? That's something new to me... -
he is not vain, he is quite a laid back chap but because due to health, he has to go for the stomach binding. dun think that it’s good to go for such operation, after the operation, he cannot eat a lot, tiny bowl of rice can make him full and he has to eat slowly.

Does it really work? Any side effects? If not, maybe I shud ask my DH to do it then as he's plumpy since a little kid. Now his mom is blaming me for not taking care of his precious son, although she's the one who didn't instill a healthy eating habbit into him during his childhood :x
(I should probably move this to the IL thread :rant: )
