It is hard to believe that a physician that took the time to become familiar with the science could recommend feeding premature babies Enfamil of Similac.

Monday, December 6, 2021 - Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a potentially fatal condition that causes a prematurely-born infant's inability to digest food, ulcers in the stomach and intestines. The condition may result in infection or even the infant's death. Prematurely born babies that have been given infant formula made from cow's milk containing toxic chemicals, rather than the wholesome and natural nutrition supplied from mother's breastmilk, have been linked to developing the disease. Scientific studies link babies that are fed infant formula with developing NEC, Autism, have lower IQ scores, and other life-long developmental difficulties. Parents that put their trust in their baby doctor, the hospital nurses, and the infant formula brands Enfamil and Similac, have filed NEC formula lawsuits alleging that the companies knew that the digestive systems of babies born prematurely may not be able to tolerate the chemicals in baby formula, but continued nonetheless to profit from the sales of the toxic baby food.

It is up to everyone to inform the parents of babies that have had NEC, autism, or other developmental disorder, that their condition may have been caused by the infant formula that they have fed them and that numerous scientific studies support that accusation. The most recently-published study was delivered this year by the prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics on the benefits of breastfeeding rather than feeding infants cow's milk-based infant formula. Scientists at AAP maintain a list of the ways that breast milk is preferable to cow's milk infant formula and the most recent study updates those reasons and adds to them.

Based on this study and others, it is hard to believe that any physician that took the time to become familiarized with the science could recommend feeding premature babies Enfamil of Similac. "Meta-analyses of 4 randomized clinical trials performed over the period 1983 to 2005 support the conclusion that feeding preterm infants human milk is associated with a significant reduction (58%) in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)," the AAP reported.
