Premature Baby Formula and Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC)
When your baby is born prematurely, you expect doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide the utmost care for your child. There are many caring and compassionate medical professionals out there who, like you, want the absolute best for your preemie.
Premature babies (those born before 37 weeks) have different needs from infants born full-term. Since these babies are not fully developed, they are more susceptible to illness, and their bodies must work harder to fight off foreign invaders. What most people (including doctors, nurses, and mothers) don’t know is that feeding cow’s milk-based formula to premature babies could result in a deadly condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC. While many cases are treatable without surgery, some babies will need surgery to remove parts of the bowel.
If your preterm baby developed NEC and required surgery, contact the attorneys at The Ruth Law Team at (888) 783-8378. Let us help you and your family Get Justice.
