# Hello!  I have a memory that powdered formula was recently discussed and someone mentioned that this was not to be used on babies under one month of age.  Is this just opinion or a formal recommendation? #


I guess you mean this one:

>>The European Food Safety Agency is recommending that mothers should use liquid infant formula for the first four weeks of life if babies are not breastfed. Powdered infant formula is not a sterile product and can contain a bacteria--salmonella and enterobacter sakazakii--that can cause illness and death. Labels on infant formula maybe changed to reflect this concern. see:
