how do we know if our child is affected? my toddler drank both nestle's dairy farm and paul's milk depending whatever is available or on sale. i'm concerned bc i don't know if she drank any of the contaminated batches. but taking her to the hospital would definitely be an all day if not 2-3 day wait.

Oh, this is so sad and so infuriating! My thoughts are: When is the mainland going to get it that they need to have some sort of standards and really enforce them. Not even 2 years ago overseas pets were dying from the same kidney-related problems because they ate pet food tainted with melamine and the tainted powder was traced back to the mainland. How many children have to get sick or die and how many families have to grieve before they get their act together! My deepest sympathies also to those in HK who have been affected by this.

Hi,
I'm not expert on this, but you can call LLL to ask.
In my opinion, breastmilk is the best, even if you have drank contaminated milk yourself. If you are sick or down with flu, baby still won't be contaminated with the breastmilk. If you are taking medicines, baby is still safe, i don't know how it works.
Continue to breastfeed. I'll have my baby soon and i swear it's exclusive breastfeeding with the scare going on.
As tests are still on-going I think it's best to go the gov. website to check for regular updates:
