Hurry up!!
There is a time limit to file a claim called the statute of limitations (SOL). It’s different in each state, but if the time runs out, you could be barred from filing a lawsuit.

A 1990 study published in the Lancet found that NEC is six to 10 times more common in exclusively formula-fed babies than in those who were breastfed. It is up to 20 times more common in babies who were born at 30 weeks or more and consumed formula compared to breastfed preemies.
Another study in a review published by the American Society for Nutrition found that cow’s milk formulas significantly increase the risk of NEC when fed to preterm infants.
