Just an interesting note for you all.  

The WHO has put out new guidelines regarding the preparation and use of
powdered infant formula.  Which can be found

df> here. These guidelines are underscored by new research about the causes
of meningitis and sepsis in infants. Bowden and associates are recommending
that no infants under 8 weeks of age receive powdered infant formula,
including full term normal babies, based on their research studying
Enterobacter sakazakii bacterial strains. Their abstract may be found
