Mead Johnson Denies Enfamil Causes Necrotising Enterocolitis

Thousands of unsuspecting parents are permitting their doctors to feed their premature baby a potentially deadly infant formula

Tuesday, December 28, 2021 - Enfamil and Similac stand accused by a growing number of parents of failing to warn them that giving a prematurely born baby (less than 35 weeks) cow's milk baby formula may cause necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) a near-fatal erosion of the baby's intestines that allows bacteria to enter the intestines and cause a flesh-eating infection. Thousand of babies are injured every year by Enfamil baby formula. If your premature baby has been fed Enfamil baby formula by your pediatrician or hospital you should consult an NEC infant formula lawyer and file a lawsuit. You would never suspect this, however, if all you did was to read the Enfamil.com website looking for where the company has addressed the possibility that their unnatural, synthetic formula is unsuitable for the delicate digestive needs of a premature baby. Study after study proves that a mother's breast milk, being premature itself, is the perfect nutrition for a premature baby. An over-arching theme of the articles that the website has published leans towards promoting a baby's weight gain as the most important health issue that should be addressed when nutritional excellence supersedes making a baby fat. One article titled: The Premature Baby Development Process, claims toe advise parents what to expect when looking at their baby's outward physical appearance but does not warn parents that cow's milk infant formula can damage a baby's intestines.

Yes, NEC infant formula will fatten them up temporarily, but we know that there is a steep price. And I understand where caring for a baby that weighs less than a pound could be unnerving. But cow's milk infant formula is not the answer. Cow's milk infant formula causes inflammation in a premature baby's intestines leading to diarrhea in 72 percent of babies fed cow's milk infant formula. It is proven that a premature baby cannot assimilate the nutrients that are said to have been added to baby formula, and they are expelled through the urine and feces. The Enfamil website article concerns itself with a premature baby's weight, their nervous system, their skin, and, incredulously, the baby's genital size. "Both premature boys and girls have immature genitals, which may look a bit unusual compared to those of a full-term baby. Your baby's sex organs may look larger than average. Don't worry; they'll look more proportional in a few weeks." Pediatricians are suspected of being paid by the baby formula manufacturer off the book fees for teaching and consulting work that never occurs. Parents should ask them as much, point-blank. Some pediatricians may be making as much as six figures for doing nothing except espousing the virtues of cow's milk baby formula. Parents of babies that have been harmed or died as a result of NEC and were fed Enfamil baby formula are holding the manufacturer, Mead Johnson & Company, responsible for their negligence.
