25 | Licensing Program Analyst, Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to follow up on a self reported incident that occurred on 11/27/19 wherein a 5 month old infant (Child #1) was fed a formula bottle instead of his breast milk bottle by accident.
LPA spoke with Staff #1 who was with two infants, Child #1 and Child #2, at the time of the incident. She stated that she stepped in to relieve the prior teacher, Staff #2 who was going home for the day. Staff #2 told her that one of the children was fine but the other need to have his milk at 5:30 p.m. Staff #1 does not recall if Staff #2 mentioned names. Staff #1 says that Child #1's name was on the board as needing the milk. She states she is new to the classroom and isn't completely familiar with the names of the infants yet. Staff #1 stated that she verified with Staff #3 who was next door that the child she was about to feed was Child #1 who's name was on the board. Staff #3 verified that it was Child #1 so she took the only bottle she saw and began to feed it to Child #1. Child #1's mother arrived very shortly thereafter and recognized that the bottle being fed was not her child's and alerted Staff #1 who stated that she then looked at the label and noticed Child #2's name on it.
Ms. Lopez states that school policy is to verify the childl's name with another staff and then verify that information matches what is on the labeled bottle prior to feeding. Red labels are for breast milk bottles and white labels are for formula bottles. Staff #1 did not complete this step causing a formula bottle to be fed to a breast fed infant, Child #1, by mistake.
