The Health Department is recommending that families monitor for symptoms first before seeking testing.

What to watch for:

* Prolonged or severe coughing fits
* Coughing that causes vomiting or difficulty breathing
* “Whooping” sound after coughing (may not always be present)

⚠️ Important to know:
* Pertussis is highly contagious
* Vaccinated children can still get pertussis, though symptoms may be milder

⚠️ URGENT: Infant Formula Recall — Important for All Parents
We’ve been notified by the CDC that the manufacturer ByHeart has issued a recall of all “ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula” products (all lot numbers, all sizes, including single-serve packs).
CDC

What this means for you:
• Do not use any ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula.
CDC
• If you have any remaining product, note the lot number and “best by” date if possible, label it “DO NOT USE,” and store it in a safe place (for at least 1 month) or discard as advised.
CDC
• Clean and sanitize any feeding bottles, surfaces, or containers that may have been used with the formula (hot soapy water or dishwasher).
CDC
• If your baby was fed this formula and shows any of these symptoms: poor feeding, loss of head control, difficulty swallowing, decreased facial expression, seek medical care immediately. Symptoms of infant botulism can show up several weeks after exposure.

What you should do now:
Check if you have this formula at home: any lot, any size.
If yes, stop using it right away.

Contact your baby’s pediatrician if your infant consumed it and you’re concerned.

We know this is stressful; we’re here for you. Please share this post so other parents in our community stay safe and informed.
