Did you know that NEC really ISN'T an infection?

[@Twinmommmmmmm]

My daughter had NEC at 1 lb and some change. 3 bowel surgeries including a reanastomosis. She's home now after 20 months later

I love this video and the analogy used!

[@semelern1111]

Great Video Doc!! Two scariest words in NICU are NEC scare! Peritonitis is deadly! I also feel threatened by the stuffed Duo who haunts me when I forget my spanish lessons lol!

[@thenicudoc]

Lol...stuffed duo haunting. So true! Thanks for leaving a wonderful and really funny comment 😄

[@felipeguinancio7456]

Great video Dr Fort. Thanks. And in your experience, do you start feeding again these babies who has recorvered from NEC with hydrolised formula? Thanks again.

[@thenicudoc]

Thank you for the kind comment. Hydrolized formula is not necessary if you can use maternal breastmilk which is best. But in some places, hydrolyzed is used.

Mothers need to drink fresh herbal teas, eat fresh reall food, no soda, no fries and jumk foods. Breast feed. No sugary and starchy foods.

[@LYVwithLYN]

[@BrittneyGorman-e4k]

[@thenicudoc]

I am so truly sorry to hear this. It is by far one of the scariest and most hated disease for neonatologists and parents alike. I pray you have some healing in time

[@TerryLynnMercer]

It means don’t feed your babies dairy!

[@thenicudoc]

NEC is not a dairy issue. This is not an allergy problem. No studies showing dairy-free decreased risk of NEC.
