Too much chemicals in our milk powder and child development

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: )

Will check out the sakura chicken. What about egg? Heard certain eggs are better?

I buy the sakura eggs as well . Hopefull they're really healthier like they claim to be. Can't afford the organic eggs :moneyflies:

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!

Actually, I love that warm closeness with the kid. Unbeatable!!

It was quite hard for me to stop it esp. for DS as I knew I wouldn't have another chance to do that since I had decided to stop at 2 kids. I enjoyed the closeness w/ my babies and nothing can replace that kind of mother-child bonding :love:

I am quite suaku. 1st time heard of sakura chicken. Do you mean kampong chicken? For egg, DS eats kampong eggs while daddy and mummy eat the cheapest eggs available on the rack.

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).

Really, what thread is that? Must go and read up.

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...

sorry ah busymom, my memory's failing. Can't rem. the name of the thread. I tried searching for it but to no avail.

apparently, poultry has higher level of those growth hormones injection as compared to cow/pigs.

Busymom:

Other fish like cod fish? I think pork should be ok, right?

Just to share, I did some googling and this website categorises fish from highest mecury level to lowest mercury level. Hey, salmon is classified under lowest mecury level! Code fish is under lower mercury level.
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/fishmercury.htm

This is consistent with the info i found from other websites too. Ok, will continue to feed him salmon. My mum said threadfin fish (ngor fish) is good for young children. I am not sure why.

It's not kampong chicken, which I checked is in fact not exactly \"kampong\" (i.e. free-range). So I expect they're also raised the same way as the regular chicken.

Here's some info on sakura chicken: http://www.agri-biz.com/cocode-80020820-dirid-95-prodcode-80020820p1-prodname-SAKURA+CHICKEN-ProductDetails_MG.aspx
I think they use some special kind of chicken feed so the chicken don't get sick so easily hence no need to inject antibiotics.

That was what I thought too. I remember big deep sea predator fish like shark and tuna tend to have higher mercury levels. So I was kind of surprised to hear salmon has high mercury as I believe most of the fresh salmon sold in the market is farmed.

thanks for the info! Very happy to read \"No Growth Hormones, No Antibiotics\" from the weblink! Kampong chicken eggs are quite expensive! So mebe it's \"Less growth hormones, less antibiotics\"?

:oops: sorry for being presumptuous. Hope he is alright after the operation.

Thanks for the link. Only thing is, the fish that we buy from the market, I actually don't know their name... :lol:

Ngor fish - that was what my mom bought in the past too.
