Question
My baby was born one month premature, and the doctor recommended using preterm infant formula. How long should the preterm infant formula be continued?
Answer
There is no specific time limit for consuming preterm infant formula, as it mainly depends on the growth and development status of the preterm infant. Preterm infants are those born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, and infants born at different gestational ages have their own characteristics. Some may have lower birth weights, while others may be very low birth weight, so the duration of formula consumption will also vary, with no unified standard. It is recommended to gradually transition from preterm infant formula to regular formula milk and not to switch completely immediately.
