Ok, so I breastfed him and just used some Enfamill Infant Formula (Ready to use) in a bowl of cereal with fruit for him. It really pained me to pour that formula into his cereal and feed it to him knowing I'm not completely sustaining him anymore. It really hurt my heart. I just might cry over this. On the other hand, he is getting what he needs and for that I am happy and grateful. Gonna call WIC and see if I can get in there sooner than next month. Do you ladies know if WIC allows the ready pour formula rather than the powder? I'm honestly scared to use the powder after the recent issues surrounding formula.

@zaysmomma, the liquid SMELLED like an Ensure shake or something. I'm sure it's better than the powder for sure. I know the powder is more convenient because it's very portable but it's just not worth the risk to me.

@mrsmord, I guess it's from a bacteria known as Chronobactor - it's very scary, there is an actual lot number from the cans if you look them up. I am not sure if it's just the newborn or what, but I am nervous regardless. It was only the powdered formula.

I'm nervous now......I hate the liquid based formula ugh . this is terrible news

Its not just in enfamil formula. Its all formula that can carry the bacteria. They dont have any way to steraluze it enough to kill the bacteria but you can also contaminate it yourself by your house hold items already having that bacteria.
