Following testing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have concluded that powdered baby formula Enfamil did not cause recent Cronobacter sakazakii bacterial infections in which two infants died and two others were sickened. 

Although Mead Johnson Nutrition's product, Enfamil, appears to be cleared for the time being, questions remain about powdered baby formula in general. Walmart and several other grocery distribution companies pulled the powdered formula from their shelves over the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

In addition, CDC announced its conclusion that "powdered baby formula is not sterile." Scientific experts have said there are "no adequate methods to prevent bacteria from creeping into the baby formula." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57351494-10391704/enfamil-infant-formula-cleared-in-kids-bacterial-infections/  

The World Health Organization recommends that parents who prepare infant formula should wash their hands with soap and water, sterilize all feeding equipment in hot, soapy water, and prepare only enough formula for one feeding at a time.

Childsafetyblog encourages new moms to focus on the basics of caring for infants:

Watch newborns carefully, making sure they, their areas and their food stuffs are kept clean

Make sure your hands are clean when you handle your child

If you believe there are negative changes in your newborn or there are signs of irritability, jaundice, unstable body temperature or difficulty eating and breathing--all symptoms of Cronobacter infection--call your doctor immediately, go to the Emergency Room of your local hospital, or call 911.
