A recent study highlights a looming crisis in the infant formula market, focusing on the severe health risks faced by preterm infants. Approximately 30% of these babies develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a condition that kills bowel tissue and can be fatal. This statistic underscores the urgency of addressing this issue. The story of Owen West, born six weeks premature in November 2015, illustrates the personal impact of NEC. Just days after his birth, Owen was diagnosed with this devastating illness, which has no clear origin according to medical professionals. His parents, Danielle and Andrew, experienced profound emotional distress, with Danielle feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt. This case is not isolated, as NEC remains a significant concern in neonatal care, highlighting the need for better understanding and prevention strategies in the infant formula industry.
