Seems
strange that in a SCN here they still have and using powdered formula. Another

-----Original Message-----Yes. All NICU's should have moved to liquid formula by now. The only exceptions being the specialised formulas that aren't available in liquid form.

Actually the advice is for all infants less than a month old. So even well full term babies who are formula fed should be having a sterile liquid formula until they are a month old.
Read this article too from the UK and the European recommendations.

I'm a bit disappointed to see the staff blaming the Ministry for Health in the article you linked us to. I would have thought that it would be the practitioner's responsibility to keep up to date with what research and changes were going on in the world - and the enterobacter sakazakii contamination was well broadcast at the time it occurred in each country.

Dies this mean only bottled formulas are used in NICU's?
