We want our Einstein families to stay informed. There’s an ongoing investigation into infant botulism linked to ByHeart powdered infant formula. While there are no Virginia cases, we’re sharing what to watch for so you can act quickly if needed.

If your baby has used ByHeart formula and shows any symptoms listed in the slide, call 911 or go to the ER right away.

If you need help choosing a safe alternative formula, our team is here for you. 💙🍼

🚨 Infant Formula Recall Alert

ByHeart Inc. has voluntarily recalled two lots of its Whole Nutrition Infant Formula due to possible contamination risk:

Lot 206VABP/251261P2 — Use by 01 Dec 2026

Lot 206VABP/251131P2 — Use by 01 Dec 2026

👉 What parents should do:

Do not use the recalled formula — throw it away or return it to the store.

Check the lot number on the bottom of the can before use.

Clean any bottles, scoops, or surfaces that may have touched the recalled formula.

Watch for symptoms such as poor feeding, trouble swallowing, floppy movements, or loss of head control — and seek medical care right away if any appear.
(These can take several weeks to show up, so stay alert if you used the recalled lots.)

💡 This recall affects about 1% of U.S. infant formula and is not expected to cause any shortage.

Your Einstein Pediatrics team is here to help — if you have any concerns about your baby’s formula or feeding, please contact us. 💙

📌 Looking for new ways to support your child’s focus and executive-skills?

This article from Children & Adults with Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) explores a strategy called Think Alouds — where you verbalize your thinking process to help kids understand how they approach tasks rather than just what to do. It’s a powerful tool for children with ADHD and executive-function challenges, helping them become more self-aware, better at planning, and more confident in tackling tasks.

At Einstein Pediatrics we want every sleep to be a safe one. Here are the best practices from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to keep baby sleeping soundly and safely:

✔ Back for every sleep: Always place your baby on their back — for naps and night. 
✔ Firm, flat surface: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play-yard with a firm mattress and fitted sheet. No blankets, pillows, toys, bumpers. 
✔ Room share, don’t bed share: Baby should sleep in the same room as you (for at least the first 6 months) but on their own surface. 
✔ Keep it bare: No loose bedding, pillows, stuffed animals, or crib bumpers. These increase risk. 
✔ Choose safe sleep gear: Use swaddles or sleep sacks designed for infants; avoid weighted sleep sacks or inclined sleepers. 
✔ Breastfeed if you can: Any amount of breastfeeding lowers the risk of SIDS. 
✔ Avoid smoke, alcohol, & illicit drugs: These raise risk of sleep-related deaths. 

📣 Tip for parents: Share this info with anyone caring for baby—grandparents, babysitters, daycare staff. Consistency matters.
