Thank you for listening. I am a physician, lactation consultant and mother of 3 breastfed children. We often see recalls of formula due to bacterial contamination, omission of an ingredient, foreign bodies, etc. Know that milk powder is NEVER sterile and that contamination gets worse after opening the can and using the furnished measuring cup inside, even if you've just washed your hands That free formula can you rece [Show More] I am a physician, lactation consultant and mother of 3 breastfed children.
That free formula can you received through a brilliant marketing scheme is in fact a brilliant ploy to insure you use THEIR product for the duration of your child's first year, and even after if they can get you to believe it is vital for your child's health.
It is a poisoned gift!!! I believe formula should be prescribed like any other medication, not marketed and publicized as closest to breastmilk These mothers should benefit from seeing lactation consultants to maximize their milk production and be counselled on which type of artificial milk to use to minimize allergies and other health problems.
Many mothers stop breastfeeding due to perception of insufficient milk, nipple pain, breast pain, insufficient weight gain, etc. All these mothers would also benefit from appropriate counselling by a lactation consultant. Why is this qualified person not a recognized member of Canadian health teams People should never understand that all artificial milks are equal. Soy milk is the best example. Manufacturers don't even bother to use biological soy to make them.
Pharmaceutical companies want the money in your wallets, not what's best for you Parents, get a maximum of information on breastfeeding during the pregnancy, search for experienced help before baby arrives, give it everything you've got to make it work, and trust me, your body knows what's best for your baby.
Breastfeeding gives you an excuse to sit down and admire that wonderful creature you've made and are still helping to grow in the best possible way. What was the pesticide levels in the recalled batch?
If our baby ingested insect parts it stands to reason she may have also ingested the pesticides that the insects ingested. I no longer have the container of the formula but I can verify the purchase of the formula by sku and store and credit card receipts, How do I get a refund? I am very concerned and dissappointed as a mother of a 4 month old.
We kept several of our sons used similac containers so we could use them for storage containers in the garage. Multiple dr, visits and rashes Abbot Company , You have the Audacity to tell your employess , to instruct parents not to be concerned and there are no health issues to worry about. I think you better reevaluate your sistuation because YOU my dear company have made thousands of babies extremely ill.
We live in a remote area andour son's doctor is 2 hours away. I tell you Abbott Company just because they are babies does not make them immune to discomfort and pain. How can we be sure that they will not suffer long term damage from such a contamination for such a long period of time. A large company such As Abbott I would think would have a sterrile environment and standard procedures in place to prevent such a tragedy.
I would expect a follow up from the Abbot Company in Regards to this situation. This is ridiculous. My son is not even three weeks old yet, and he stopped eating, very quickly developed a horrible diaper rash it made him bleed , had gas, and we had to switch him to a generic formula which did not agree with him at ALL because we had purchased two of the large plastic tubs that were affected and we did not have the money to replace those with pre-mixed or smaller cans.
He s [Show More] This is ridiculous. He spit up so bad that it went up his nose and I had to suction his nose so he could breathe; what about the emotional stress I went through, going 48 hours straight with no sleep because I was deathly afraid of laying him down, in case he might spit up again, inhale it and drown in it as he slept? Babies cannot breathe from their mouths. I hope my son does not keep having problems due to this formula, he is still having a lot of gas problems and sometimes does not want to eat.
I think that Similac should be banned. I guess I can be happy that my baby didn't drink lead infested formula and die. Drinking bugs is digusting. How much money did I waste feeding my baby only in turn to make him sick. How do we know it wont happen again when they have had 3 issues similar issues in about ten years.
This company should have known I too am extremely upset with similac. I am one of those mothers who will buy the very best when it comes to maken sure my baby gets all the nutrients she needs and I trusted similac to be the one! My baby is almost 5 months and has been on similac powder since she came home from the hospital. Her fussiness was noticed then.
My doctor didnt want to change that soon cause normally as with babie [Show More] I too am extremely upset with similac.
My doctor didnt want to change that soon cause normally as with babies it could be a mixture of being in a new place, trying to set routines, etc. So we continued for about a month and a half and at that time he recommended putting her on the similac sensitive due to her crying with clinched fists and extreme stiffening of her torso during her feedings I am very very upset cause she was trying to tell me that something was wrong and i had to much trust in similac to even think it could be their product.
Something needs to be done to ensure this does not happen and again. There is a huge concern with us mothers about what long term affect or damange we possible have caused to our babies by not listening to their warnings signs. Also because of this it has became extremely hard to find the liquid in stores I am having to search store to store and finding shelves are emptied. Its hard on babies to switch brands and I really didnt want start that on top of all the other problems we were having Web sales are even out of stock!
My granddaughter is very sick from this. Prior to this coming out she has been to the doctors several times and also to hospital with bad stomach problems. Doctors could never determine her problem. Took her off formula that night it hit the website, but still she is cramping. I am so out raged at the issue that has happen.
Parents put our trust in Abbot to make good healthy milk for our growin babies. My baby girl,10 mnths old,has been goin thru alot of these symtoms and me not noing why. The people at Abbot,would refuse to drink a glass of drink wit insects in it,why wait so long to tell us parents.
Why Abbot,didnt check the powder b4 it was issued to sell.. Money they wan [Show More] I am so out raged at the issue that has happen. Money they wanted,but what bout us parents dealing wit our sick babies Our babies,not being able to sleep,tummy running off,diaper rash,not counting how many diapers a day i went thru for her.
Not being able to eat,nor drink her milk from throwing it up,now she could b dehydrated. She has a dr. And now I have to worry bout insects growin and being in my child lil body Next time b more safe,dont worry bout covering ur butt,worry bout the well being of all those babies that has taken this milk in there bodies. Hell they should make yall drink it as well. My poor baby is 9 months old and switched to Similac from breastfeeding due to my health at 7 months.
Seemed to be fine for the first month but around 8 months I noticed he didn't want to eat baby food anymore and just wanted water, he was only eating 6 ounces of formula to begin with and then would never finish even that because he seemed to not want to eat.
He then started spitting up like [Show More] My poor baby is 9 months old and switched to Similac from breastfeeding due to my health at 7 months. He then started spitting up like a little bit of thick vomit, not normal baby spit up which he had not really done either before He also had explosive loud and obviously painful gas along with occasional diareaha.
He has continued to be fussy, super gassy, he tosses and turns all night and still has occasional like once a day green watery diareaha with weird brownish black specks in it!!!! I have another appointment with the doctor tomorrow! What should my doc be testing for???? My baby is suffering and I am worried about long term damage to his system???? As a Lactation Consultant, we have long been aware of the nasty things that can get into formula, and the formula companies ALWAYS cover it up as long as they can so that they don't loose money.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for the first year of life- never contaminated, always the correct temp, and made for our infants delicate digestive systems. Women are told by n [Show More] As a Lactation Consultant, we have long been aware of the nasty things that can get into formula, and the formula companies ALWAYS cover it up as long as they can so that they don't loose money.
Women are told by nurses and doctors that they cannot nurse on certain medications- almost always false- and that they won't be able to make enough milk- almost always false- and until women and infants are honored all over the world- this will just continue. Breastfeeding is healthier for baby and mother, with the cost being practically nothing, but the bonding and closeness and boost that helps mother and child connect and love each other is priceless. Affected customers were advised to search for the lot number of their item at similac.
They can also find it from the list that the company later released. According to the FDA , premature babies fed with this formula for over a month may have a higher risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia because of insufficient iron intake.
But there were no serious medical complaints reported concerning this Similac recall. The contamination was attributed to a manufacturing problem, but no serious health problems were reported concerning this recall.

The formula immediately began to separate, so her husband tasted it and realized it was flour, Frydrych told WFTS Network.
It was considered an isolated incident, and no recall was issued on the formula. In , CVS temporarily recalled all Enfamil formulas from stores across the country after one mom purchased a tampered container from a CVS outlet in Oldsmar, Florida. According to the woman, Alison Denning, the protective seal on the lid looked intact, but she was surprised when the interior seal was broken. Instead of formula, the contents smelled like baking flour.
We will be contacting the supplier, and as a matter of precaution we have removed all Enfamil products from this store pending the outcome of our investigation. After completing their investigation, CVS and Mead Johnson declared that it was an isolated incident. No official Enfamil recall was issued. Chelsea Bellinger believes that the Enfamil AR formula she bought from a nearby Walmart in Arizona might have been tampered with because the liquid and solid parts were completely separated.
A spokesperson for the company explained that they reviewed security footage at the store and conducted an internal review to determine whether the possible tampering happened there. Enfamil Newborn stocks were pulled out from the store shelves of Wal-mart , Supervalu, Walgreen Co, and Kroger in , over reports that it can cause a rare bacterial infection.
