Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."


According to the FDA, "a

"Egocentric" isn't a name!

What does YMMV mean? I'm sure I'll figure it out right as I hit "Post" but for now, I don't know what it means.

**Since those posts stand, the Mods agree with you and that is not why she was banned.**

How do you know why she was banned?

Actually I was told her by a few posters and by a pharmasist (spelling issue) that the requirements have changed for vitamin D. I do not know if there are any side affects but that we should all be getting more then we use to. I do not know why but cancer was mentioned in women and that this helps reduce risk. I do not suppliment although I was told that moo juice has vitamin D as an addition so Kylie is being "supplimented" in a sense as it is not naturally occuring.

I am actually with you on this one but just giving information as I heard it and for this reason why your doctor probably mentioned it. Iron is a whole other story and it is not fun to see your child become anemic. Kylie was tired all the time and wanted to sleep. I knew there was an issue when she put herself to bed at 6 in the evening and rose at 9 the next morning.

The suppliments are horrible though and I just did it by diet (they taste too awful and Kylie would have none of it. She has been fine since...

Sorry, my spelling sucks!

Holly, I don't blame you for not wanting to give your DD a supplement for Vit D either. In all honesty, I've never heard a pedi recommend giving a child a Vit D supplement. The only people I've ever seen a recommendation for Vit D supplements are post-menopausal women (and it's in conjunction with their calcium supplement).

Nope, it was just your regular old run-of-the-mill question. Answer it or don't.
