  • I would like to know how this infant was fed. Generally only unnaturally fed babies will be afflicted with this.

  • I'm not a doctor. My opinion is only speculative, but I don't necessarily agree with you there. During the three months we spent in NICU I saw several cases of nec. In one case, there was one triplet who developed it while his two brothers were fine. Yes there was a small amount of formula given early on to supplement the natural breast milk. I don't feel like it was a contributing factor. There was a steroid injection given prior to the C-Section. That may be suspect as well.

  • @parkerkayleiallie she lost just over 2/3rds of her intestine

  • my baby was a 27 weeker. She developed NEC at about 1.5 weeks old, she was a breast fed only baby.

  • why was the small intestine connected to the skin? for circulation?

  • I had this at 2 days old and 31 weeks gest. I'm 39 now. I had half my large intestine removed along with the valve between the small and large intestines. I have been fine with the exception of recurrent ileitis- thought to be because of the missing valve.

  • dirty hospital

  • My daughter was born at 27 weeks and at 29 weeks she had to have surgery and lost over 2/3rds of her intestines. She was ONLY breast fed.
