The Similac and Enfamil formulas are based on cow milk, not human breast milk. When ingesting cow milk and cow milk-based formula, babies can suffer necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This gastrointestinal bacterial infection most commonly affects premature and underweight babies.

Roughly 33% of babies who endure NEC will have severe developmental problems.

When an infant establishes NEC, the digestive tract tissue becomes inflamed and may trigger tissue decay and death. While NEC can vary in severity, even mild to moderate cases can cause long-lasting health issues. NEC can allow bacteria to travel through the digestive wall into the blood stream. In advanced cases, germs in a baby’s blood stream can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening, potentially fatal blood infection.
