Status: offline 		COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Authorities investigating a possible link between the death of a Missouri newborn and the formula powder he was fed say another baby in the state may have contracted a rare bacterial infection after consuming prepared formula.
Ten-day-old Avery Cornett died Sunday after he was fed Enfamil Newborn powder bought at a Walmart in the southern Missouri town of Lebanon.
Wal-Mart subsequently pulled a batch of the infant formula from more than 3,000 of its stores. The government has not requested a voluntary recall.

"another baby in the state may have contracted a rare bacterial infection after consuming prepared formula. "

It doesn't say "because of" or "due to" or anything of the sort. Better source.

Its a notification of a voluntary recall by Walmart. Its an infants life. Why take chances? The company doesnt want too. I posted it only as a notification for the parents and grandparents on the boards, T.

Status: offline 		The lot number is below... I strongly suggest all parents and grandparents check for that number on Cans of Enfamil Newborn.

They wont admit until they are forced too. The recall is strictly as cover my ass measure on behalf of walmart. Better to get all the product back, make it look like they are doing someone special, and if its found the milk had nothing to do with it, they have the product they can resell and they look like heroes.

COLUMBIA, Mo.—Several more national retailers have joined Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in pulling a batch of powdered infant formula from their shelves after a Missouri newborn who consumed it apparently died of a rare bacterial infection, the companies said Friday.

Officials at Supervalu Inc., Walgreen Co., Kroger Co. and Safeway said they have removed 12.5-ounce cans of Enfamil Newborn with the lot number ZP1K7G from various stores across the country as a precaution until federal health officials complete tests on the formula.

Ten-day-old Avery Cornett died Sunday after getting sick several days earlier in the southern Missouri town of Lebanon. Preliminary hospital tests indicated he died of a rare infection caused by bacteria known as Cronobacter sakazakii.

The source of the bacteria that caused the infection hasn't been determined, but it can be found in dried milk and powdered formula as well as naturally in the environment and in plants such as wheat and rice.

I've never heard of that species, and I've got a couple textbooks on food-born illness.

WTF is the mother doing feeding formula to a 10-day old baby?

This could be why its not in your text books...

Taxonomy

Cronobacter was first proposed as a new genus in 2007 as a clarification of the taxonomic relationship of the biogroups found among strains of Enterobacter sakazakii.[3] This proposal was validly published in 2008 with 5 species and 3 subspecies named [1].

You're kidding, right? Mine had formula from the very first day, and yet I told the hospital where I had my baby that he was to be breast fed only. Nurses kept bottle feeding him formula before bringing him to me, or else bottle feeding him afterward. When American mothers leave hospitals, they are laden with advertisements of things to get for the baby, free magazines with more advertisements, and some free formula. Even when I emphatically stated that my kid was to be breast fed, those formulas made it home in my bags anyway.

Some women are back to work very soon after having a baby. We are not allowed to cart them off to work with us, and unless babies are fed about every two hours at first our milk doesn't come in good. No job I have ever been at would supply a refrigerator for the expressed milk, nor allow us half an hour breaks every two hours to bring our milk in. This is America...where women have to breastfeed babies in toilets...or are peer pressured into feeding from the breast at home and with formula in a bottle while in public. Most of us who are forced to do both have to stop breastfeeding by 3 or 6 months, because the baby prefers the easy drink from a bottle.

There are many reasons why some women have to use formula. A married girlfriend of mine was ordered by her husband not to breastfeed their newborn. Not even for six weeks. He said...her breasts belonged to him and he refused to share them with an infant. Baby gets the bottle, daddy gets the breast. Messed up, isn't it?

my milk didnt come in for ages, I had to formula for quite a few days, because she lost a pound in a week, and was under three weeks old before my milk came in properly
Theres an awful lot of misinformation and unrealistic expectations STILL isnt there

Ummm... at 10 days, they are still considered a new born

Medications/complications can make it difficult to impossible to breast feed.

Not every woman wants to breast feed.

Not every woman is physically able to breast feed.
