Question
My son is eight months premature, and I would like to know how to choose premature baby formula and how long he needs to take it to recover?
Answer
Generally, formula can be used until the child is three years old. When a premature baby reaches a similar weight and size to a normal infant, they can switch to regular formula. The main ingredients of the formula are the same, and even with slight differences, there should not be a significant impact. You can continue to use the original formula based on your situation, and if you need to switch, the child can also adapt to the new formula without feeling uncomfortable. Generally, premature babies gain an average of 2.5 kilograms per month in the first six months after birth. Considering the premature condition, a weight gain of 5.2 kilograms per month is also normal.
