The care of premature babies is facing a crisis due to infant formula liability lawsuits

Danielle and Andrew West spent their first month as parents praying for their child to live.

Their son Owen, born six weeks premature in November 2015, developed necrotizing enterocolitis a few days after birth. The condition kills intestinal tissue and is most common in premature babies, where it is often fatal. The illness was sudden and mysterious. Their doctor couldn’t tell them exactly where it came from.

Danielle remembers crying like she had never done before as her sister tried to comfort her. She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
