If a friend of yours living in the same country were expecting, what advice would you give her?
After the birth, I was really anxious with all these terrible stories of contaminated milk in China...
The only solution was to find imported milk for Babies.. at the beginning I filled my suitcases up with baby milk each time I went back to Europe. Finally, I found (and it can help every mummies in China) a website that gives you a personal address in US and UK. I order Guigoz Baby milk and got it sent to me in China in one week. The shipping is really fast and you can also consolidate your buyings with your friends so you can share the fees.
