A lil here, A lil there: Products Review: Karihome Goat's Milk Sweeties

Revisiting calcium supplement. Since we've finished up our Abbott Calcium Milky chew, it's time to stock up again. I passed by Vitacare pharmacy and made a stop and saw that they were selling for RM36. I remembered I could get it for RM28 at Guardian so I decided not to buy. As usual, despite not wanting to get what I had in mind, I lingered for a while checking out other supplements to see if there's anything else I'm missing or any interesting supplements I or any of my family members could use. As I was browsing through all the calcium that was on the shelves, I was approached by the sales person. A lady in her 40s. 'Can I help you miss?' I told her 'I'm just looking for calcium supplements, looking at Abbott Calcium Milky Chew'. She asked who was it for and I told her it'll be for my 3 year old son. And to her disbelief accompanied by a disapproving look saying 'No, no, no, you cannot give this to a child. These supplements are not suitable for a child. It's too rich. Why don't you give your son milk?' While I'm pretty annoyed at that sorta question because it made me seem like a mother who refuses to feed her son milk, I still answered her, 'No, he doesn't take any form of milk'. Surprised, she asked 'And what was he on before his????'. Politely, I told her I breastfeed him for more than 2 years, so after that he refuses to take cows milk. She gave a smile. And she went out of her way with suggestions like I should really try to introduce soy milk as it taste really sweet and kids would love it and etc etc. I mean seriously, I think moms usually will give their best to their children so I think that people should automatically assume that moms have done their best in whatever is it they're doing. I still answered all of her questions till she made a remark, 'Your case is unusual lah. This is my first time hearing this. I must bring this case up to my management lah'. And I told her, 'No, this is pretty common with breastfed babies' and I was cut off 'NO LAH. This is my first time hearing case like that'. WOW. This is what it feels like getting judged. While I appreciate her helpfulness, she made it seem as if I was committing the biggest crime ever for not feeding my toddler milk, and it's not like I didn't try. I did. Secretly, I was rolling my eyes so hard that it felt like it was gonna drop off form its socket. She continued questioning me and giving me suggestions like I should feed my child cheese and calcium rich food, to which I nodded to. And she was thinking hard what else could I offer to Ezra and she ran off and return with these calcium supplements made of goat's milk by Karihome from New Zealand. I was at least please with what she showed me aside from the judgmental yapping. Of the three flavors she showed me which was Yoghurt, Original and Strawberries, I asked what would people normally pick for their kids, she answered me 'I don't know about your kid because your kid is so unique. I don't know what he would like'. Sigh, I wish I could shoot her face. Since I'm a sucker for calcium supplements for children and cute stuffs, I like how it was package, small container that comes with 70 tablets. What's even cuter is that the sweeties comes it shapes of animals like panda, elephant and seahorse or seal, I don't really remember. It is easily digestible and it is rich in calcium, protein, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. Unlike multivitamin tablets, a child can safely take up to 10 Karihome Goat Milk Sweeties each time, 1 to 3 times a day seems more ideal and it is suitable for children from 1 year and above, when they are able to chew & suck without choking. Plus point, it is available 6 different flavours, comes in assorted, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, yogurt and original flavour. What's even sweeter is that it only cost RM18.90. Feels like it's dirt cheap! So, I decided to give the Yogurt flavored sweeties a try. There isn't a need to convince me to buy. The minute she handed the products to me, and I saw the word sweeties, I was so sure I was going to buy it. It taste like milk only in tablet form. Kinda like this candy by Bento in my childhood days. I gave Ezra and he seems to like it. I got over excited on the different flavored available I saw online and the fact it is packaged in the tiny darn looking cute can that my OCD is triggering me to get the rest of the 5 flavours.
