They announced on the news today that traces of melamine were found in a couple of our infant formulas. Good Start was named and Enfamil Lipil.
My dear grandson has been drinking the Enfamil Lipil since the first week of October. They haven’t said they are recalling the formula probably because the FDA doesn’t know what the safe amount is of Melamine that an infant can have without being harmed.
Over 53,000 babies in China were sickened by the chemical that was intentionally added to the formula over there. Four or Five died from it.
We’ve got a call in to a nurse we work with however with Thanksgiving tomarrow, I doubt she’ll get the message to get back to us. With the FDA not reacting I’m sure the answer from the medical community will be that it’s only trace amounts and not to worry. Somehow that doesn’t make us feel any better.
This is one of the many reasons I breastfeed.
