The #OhioHealthMothersMilkBank is asking for your help to spread the word. Our pasteurized human milk supply has fallen to critically-low levels in recent weeks, & breast milk donors are needed to support premature babies. Share this post; & learn more: https://t.co/kEpo2I0a9n.

Now when a baby dies of NEC it is unavoidable to think that probiotics could have prevented it. #preventNEC #FDA #probiotics #catch22

[Applied Microbiology International @AMIposts]

Opinion: With FDA warnings about probiotics sold for use in hospitalised preterm infants, families of babies threatened by necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) now face a deadly Catch-22 situation

What a great opportunity to grow next gen NEC researchers!

A pioneer honor, congratulations Satyan!!

@nnpsuz Up to now we used an infographic sheet to provide information for probiotic use. Moving forward, a path adapting that into an informed consent will help. Happy to share once we decide on our current hold.

“The NEC Society does not advocate for or against the prophylactic use of probiotics in the NICU. The NEC Society does urge the neonatal community to openly communicate and partner with families to collaboratively evaluate the evidence, risks,…

Check out @NECsociety's statement on FDA's warning on #probiotics in preterm infants. https://t.co/big7IySTeS
We urge the neonatal community not to waiver in our shared goal of preventing NEC & improving outcomes for all infants in the NICU. #preventNEC @jenncanvasser @epNICURDN

and benefits of various treatments, including probiotics, for their unit’s unique patient population.”

It is a moment now for us (and the FDA) to listen.

Losing a baby to NEC seems to hurt worse each time. We know enough to make a difference but change can be slow.
Patient families are the key to unlock impact here.

@Dr_KS_Gautham Agree, probiotic related deaths are underestimated but I would hazard to guess not by 50-fold.

[Jae Kim @neojae]

A NICU moratorium on probiotics has begun

~50K VLBW/year
~30% receive probiotics with
~2% lower NEC incidence =

300 babies free from NEC:
100 babies free from surgical NEC
50 babies spared a NEC death

One baby died from a probiotic.

Which harm are we choosing to avoid?

[Jae Kim @neojae]

Yes, let the rallying calls begin!

[Katie Chetta @Chetta_milk_lab]

I don’t think our Neonatology community is going to lay down probiotics that easily, without a full evidence-based discussion. #ebneo #babiesmatter #probiotics #neotwitter

Arriving home, processing the magnitude of organizations like @NECsociety and people who have dedicated their careers to a world without NEC. Grateful to have played even a small part. Thankful to @drnicu for sharing a vision that we can improve access to information and experts.
