Nearly all babies — 9 out of 10 — who get NEC are born early. The condition mostly affects babies:
In premature infants, NEC is a common gastrointestinal illness. It affects 1 in 1,000 premature babies. The risk is greatest for babies weighing less than 2 pounds. The condition only rarely affects full-term infants. About 1 in 10,000 full-term babies get NEC.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed after baby formula from Enfamil and Similac has been linked to higher rates of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
