An experienced buyer of baby formula, she analyses the baby formula production and sales in each continent, saying that Australia's purchase limit makes it hard to buy in bulk, US baby formula is made by pharmaceutical companies and that you can find all foreign brands in Taiwan.

The mother strongly recommends northern European products. "The Netherlands has prime agriculture and plenty of productive cows. Its famous baby milk powder brands include Friso and Nutrilon. Germans are serious people and their quality is trustworthy. Like HIPP, Aptamil," the map reads.

Chinese baby formula has long suffered a bad reputation after a string of tainted-baby-milk scandals and has spurred Chinese overseas bulk-buying. In 2008, the toxic milk powder scandal killed at least six infants and sickened 300,000 children in China.
