Reply #128: That's terrible

Poor baby and poor mom. She must have had no clue.

I had a friend who had the type of formula that needed water added to it when they had their first newborn. But they didn't read the label, and they thought that the wet formula was fine to feed to the baby as is. A week later, they ended up in the emergency room. The child almost died because he was dehydrated. (The opposite of this story.) His skin had turned a yellowish green, and he almost went into respiratory failure.

I wish that there was a mini-course at the hospital before parents left so that things like this wouldn't happen. These people are intelligent parents. They were just careless about something that seemed so natural.
