A few months ago, the Hong Kong Consumer Council issued the below press release stating several infant milk powders were tested positive for 3-MCPD and mislabling nutrition labels.
We often get asked the question what milk powder brand we use, so hence this post. 😊
We have always been big supporters of breastfeeding, so that's what we have done with our eldest. With our youngest, for a number of reasons, breastfeeding 100% was a bit more challenging this time so we decided to add infant milk powder into the mix once a day once he turned 6 months old.
We have been extremely happy with our choice, Monbélac (a brand that's made in France) and have not encountered any issues with gassiness, crankiness, constipation, discoloured stool or blood in his stool, allergic reactions, etc.
Instead, our youngest is smiling, happy and growing steadily (see pic below 😍). He's also learning new skills very swiftly, just like his brother. 🥰
If you want to find out more about the Monbélac brand, feel free to leave a message in the comment section or DM us and we can send you some information.
