Susu Formula Mengandung Bakteri

Dear Moms.
karena sampe skg masalah susu formula (katanya product lokal) yang mengandung bakteri itu masih simpang siur dan gak ada kejelasan, makanya biar Moms semua gak bingung nih aku ada nemu artikel di Blog http://www.enterobactersakazakiiblog.com/ yang isinya cara menyiapkan susu formula yang benar supaya bacteri
Enterobacter sakazakii (E.sakazakii) itu gak berkembang.
Memang agak repot sih cara nyiapinnya, but it's worth to our baby, right?


here's the article :

Irish Offer Ten Step Plan to Nail E. sakazakii

Posted on February 11, 2008 by E. Sakazakii Lawyer

 

Vhi, the Irish private health insurer, and Safefood, Ireland's food safety promotion board, are promoting a new 10 step procedure to keep baby bottles safe from Enterobacter sakazakii.

Dr Cliodhna Foley-Nolan, Director, Human Health and Nutrition at Safefood warned that powdered infant formula is not a sterile product and has the potential to cause illness if not prepared properly. In rare circumstances, powdered infant formula can contain the bacterium Enterobacter sakazakii (E.sakazakii) and other harmful bacteria. These bacteria can cause illness in infants. Babies under 2 months are most at risk. However, making up the formula using water that is above 70°C will kill E.sakazakii and any other bacteria like salmonella that may be present, said Dr Foley-Nolan

Vhi and Safefood say if parents and carers follow the 30-minute rule any harmful bacteria will be killed. The 30 minute rule means that after boiling fresh water, the water is left to cool for 30 minutes before adding the powdered infant formula.

 

Here are the 10-steps on making baby’s bottles safely are:

1.         Boil water

2.         Leave to cool for 30 minutes but no longer

3.         Clean surfaces, wash hands

4.         Read the instructions on the formula’s label carefully

5.         Pour the boiled water into sterile bottle

6.         Add formula using scoop provided

7.         Shake well

8.         Cool quickly

9.         Check temperature is cool enough for baby

10.       Throw away any unused feed after 2 hours.

 

 

Enterobacter sakazakii in infant formula

Posted on February 7, 2008 by E. Sakazakii Attorney

The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) regulates infant formula manufacturers to ensure that all infant formula sold in the United States is safe for babies to consume.  FDA conducts yearly inspections at infant formula manufacturing plants, and collects and analyzes product samples. 

Baby formula can be purchased in either powder, liquid concentrate, or ready-to-feed form.  Powdered infant formula has been identified as the source of E. Sakazakii outbreaks, and adherence to proper formula preparation is important to prevent the growth of any bacteria that could be present in the formula.

According to FDA:

In most cases, it's safe to mix formula using ordinary cold tap water that's brought to a boil and then boiled for one minute and cooled. According to the World Health Organization, recent studies suggest that mixing powdered formula with water at a temperature of at least 70 degree C—158 degrees F—creates a high probability that the formula will not contain the bacterium Enterobacter sakazakii—a rare cause of bloodstream and central nervous system infections. Remember that formula made with hot water needs to be cooled quickly to body temperature—about 98 degrees F—if it is being fed to the baby immediately. If the formula is not being fed immediately, refrigerate it right away and keep refrigerated until feeding.

*** The term "trace" has been taken in this context to mean 1 microgram of mercury per dose or less.
1 HibTiITER was also manufactured in thimerosal-preservative containing multidose vials but these were no longer available after 2002.
2 Children 6 months old to less than 3 years of age receive a half-dose of vaccine, i.e., 0.25 mL; children 3 years of age and older receive 0.5 mL.
3 A trace thimerosal containing formulation of Fluzone was approved on 9/14/02 and has been replaced with the formulation without thimerosal.

Thx to Jesus, vaksin yg Gaby terima dinyatakan Free Thimerosal oleh FDA.
Hope this information could help.

10 ways to stop those irritating calls..must read

1.         After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you.  

2.         Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask  him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call  him/her back.

3.         Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times. 

4.         Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please  hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure.  Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation. 

5.         Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and  hand the phone to your five year old child.

6.        Tell them  you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak  up...louder. ..louder. ..louder!

7.        Tell them to  speak very slowly because you want to write every word down. 

8.         If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so  glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these   problems.... ........"   

9.        Cry out in  surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?"  When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works  especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE.      

10.          Tell the HSBC call center guy to call on  your office number. - and give him the ICICI call center number. www.FunAndFunOnly.net

One paragraph that Explains Life

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which  conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 million children start playing tennis, 50 thousand learn to play tennis, 5 thousand learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....

Keep Going.....

Does Your Blood Type Reveal Your Personality?

 

According to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood types. How do you rate?

 

TYPE O

You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealousy and a tendency to be too competitive.

TYPE A

You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.

TYPE B

You're a rugged individualist, who's straightforward and likes to do things your own way.  Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakne    ss.

TYPE AB

Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

I received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed

I asked for strength and
God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and
God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity and
God gave me brawn and brains to work.

I asked for courage and
God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience and
God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.

I asked for love and
God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors and
God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted
I received everything I needed.

My prayers have all been answered.

Before I was A mom

BEFORE I WAS A MOM
Author Unknown

Before I was a Mom - I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained
clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried
about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth
everyday.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't worry whether or not my plants were
poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on, wet on, spit on,
chewed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom - I had complete control over my thoughts, my body,
my mind. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child so that
doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes
and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never
sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I
didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million
pieces when I could not stop the hurt. I never knew that something so
small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love
someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart
outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a
hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child. I
didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up every ten minutes, in the
middle of the night, to make sure that all was okay. I had never known
the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderfulness, or
the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of
feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Happy VALENTINE

To be hapiest person in the world
doesn't necessarily mean
having the best of everything in life

Perhaps, they are just good at
making the best of everything
that life brings along their way...

Or Maybe,
God wants us to experience "wrong situation"
before meeting the right ones.

So, when the right ones
come along our way,
we'll khow how to be grateful
and thankful for that gift......

Why God give US friend


WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS
Author Unknown

GOD knew that everyone needs
companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.

He knew they need someone kind
to lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
to care and understand.

GOD knew that we all need someone
to share each happy day,
to be a source of courage
when troubles come our way.

Someone to be true to us,
whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
hold and treasure in our hearts.

That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends.
