An update on the formula recall: ALL ByHeart formula has been recalled and the outbreak is more widespread than first thought 😢

RECALL UPDATE: All ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula products have been recalled. This includes all unexpired lots of formula cans and single-serve “anywhere” sticks.

Outbreak Investigation of Infant Botulism: Infant Formula (November 2025)
Do not use recalled ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. FDA’s Investigation is ongoing.

All ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula products have been recalled. This includes all unexpired lots of formula cans and single-serve “anywhere” sticks.

What to Do:
Please stop using these recalled products and return or dispose of the product.
Clean any bottles or surfaces that may have come into contact with the formula.
If your infant has consumed this product and isn’t feeling well, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.

FDA is expanding its recommendation to include all ByHeart infant formula products due to the number of ill infants reported to have consumed this product, the identification of additional lot codes, the identification of new cases of suspected infant botulism, and the preliminary positive sample collected and tested by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP).

ByHeart infant formula products makes up less than 1% of all infant formula sold in the United States and this outbreak does not create shortage concerns of infant formula for parents and caregivers.


Symptoms of Infant botulism
Most infants with infant botulism will initially develop constipation, poor feeding, loss of head control, and difficulty swallowing, which can progress to difficulty breathing and respiratory arrest. Symptoms of infant botulism, which is diagnosed clinically, can take as long as several weeks to develop following formula ingestion.

Stores affected
ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula is available for sale online and at major retailers nationwide.

Status
Ongoing

How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?

⚖️ Weight gain is the gold standard. We expect babies to lose up to 10% of their birth weight in the first week of life, but after that they should be gaining steadily and be back at birthweight by about two weeks.

😴 Your baby should be eating at at least 8 to 12 times in 24 hours.  It’s normal to have to wake a newborn sometimes during the first two weeks of life, but after that they should be waking up for feedings.

🙂 Your baby should seem satisfied after most feedings at least for a while. If your baby seems to constantly be looking for food or is constantly fussy and upset, that’s a good reason to check in with your IBCLC and your pediatrician.

💩 Watch those diaper counts! By the end of day four, baby should be having yellow seedy diapers. We’re looking for one p*e and p**p per day up to day four of life, then after that we want at least 6 to 8 wet diapers and at least 3 to 4 p**py diapers in 24 hours.

❓ If you want to be prepared for breast-feeding, make a prenatal appointment with an IBCLC. This will help you have the confidence to navigate breastfeeding right from the start. I accept insurance, and over 90% of my patients pay absolutely nothing out of pocket.

⁉️ Same goes if you’re wondering if your baby’s getting enough. Schedule an appointment so you can have a better idea of what a good feeding looks like.

Important! Keep in mind that boiling water(as you’re supposed to do when making formula) doesn’t kill botulism!

This is my 12 year old son’s tongue tie. He already had a release just before he turned 4, but that was before I had any advanced training in oral motor function. He didn’t get any therapy to prepare him before or to support him after. He’s had dental problems, difficulty eating certain textures, severe sp*ech problems, and general jaw and neck pain.

Thankfully, I know better, so I’m doing better now! He’s starting pre-release therapy soon, and will have a revision procedure after the therapist feels he’s ready.

Not all “ties” require releases, but true ties don’t just magically disappear as a kiddo ages. This is why working with an IBCLC who has advanced training in oral motor function matters.

If you’ve been told your baby will just “grow out of it” on their own, just know there is support available, and you don’t have to wonder if you could have done more.

I’m seeing so many sleep training programs that are claiming to be breast-feeding friendly but still recommend feeding windows or eat play sleep in a certain order rather than following baby’s cues, or maybe they say to reduce nighttime feedings before baby is really ready.

All of these can wreck breastfeeding and ultimately don’t give the results that most parents are looking for.

You can absolutely get more sleep and protect your breastfeeding relationship at the same time! There are ways to support your baby’s, natural sleep development without causing them distress and without resorting to contact naps and co-sleeping indefinitely!

Sleep, Feed, Thrive is a class designed to tell you the truth about infant sleep and the truth about how to thrive, even in the newborn stage.

You don’t need to pay hundreds for a sleep training program or course! This class is covered by insurance, and there are scholarships available for those without insurance coverage.

Breast shaping can help get a deeper latch, especially if you have very large or round breasts. Most babies don’t need this type of support long term, but it can be super helpful in the newborn phase.
