Four children have died and more than 6,000 others have fallen ill after drinking the tainted products.
The toddler, who had drunk the Yili milk every day for 15 months, has not developed kidney disease and has been discharged from hospital.
Chinese police have arrested 18 people in connection with the scandal.
Suppliers are believed to have added melamine, a banned chemical normally used in plastics, to diluted milk to make it appear higher in protein.
The additive is blamed for causing severe renal problems and kidney stones.
Melamine was first found in baby milk powder made by the Sanlu Group. In total, melamine has been found in products made by 22 companies, including Yili.
Hong Kong ordered the recall after discovering contamination in eight out of 30 dairy products made by the Yili Industrial Group Co.
