What is NEC?
NEC is more than simple stomach discomfort. It is a severe medical condition that can swell and damage the digestive system, primarily in babies who drink formula made with cow’s milk. The condition is serious and can become life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated.
Does my baby have NEC?
NEC usually occurs in prematurely-born infants or born before 32 weeks, and develops between 2 to 4 weeks after birth. Milk-derived formulas, even if made for premature infants, can increase the risk for NEC.
Recognizing NEC early is critical to your baby’s health. If you notice any of the following symptoms, get medical help:
Abdominal pain
Lethargy
Bloody stool
Feeding difficulties
Abnormally swollen abdomen
Inability to gain weight
Unstable body temperature
Green or yellow vomit
Bladder Cancer
Leukemia
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Myeloma/Multiple Myeloma
Breast Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Liver Cancer
Low birth weight (5 points or less for a newborn baby)
Pancreatic Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Preeclampsia
Testicular Cancer
Thyroid Disease (hypo, hyperthyroidism, & Hashimoto’s)
Ulcerative Colitis
FAQ, Eligibility
All answers must be verifiable
- Diagnosis: Ensure your child was diagnosed with NEC. Medical records detailing the diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
- Premature birth: NEC lawsuits usually involve premature infants, as they are at higher risk of developing this condition.
- Confirm that your child was fed a cow’s milk-based formula, such as Similac or Enfamil, which are often implicated in these lawsuits. This information can typically be found in hospital records.
- Document adverse effects: Gather documentation of medical complications caused by NEC, such as surgeries, long-term health issues, or unfortunately, death.

A 2022 study on animals that showed different formulas can affect a baby’s digestive tract differently. Brands like Enfamil and Similac may have a higher chance of leading to NEC than breast milk.
The study also found that some formulas–Similac Special Care, for example, which is often used in hospitals to help tiny babies grow–cause more gut issues than the brand NeoSure, which is for babies who have come home from the hospital.
