Question
The baby was premature by half a month and has been weak since birth. My milk hasn’t come in yet, so I want to give the baby formula milk. But as a preterm baby, I’m not sure which formula milk is suitable?
Answer
Preterm babies have underdeveloped functions, so it’s very important to choose the right formula milk for them. You can choose formulas specifically designed for preterm babies to meet their weaker gastrointestinal digestive abilities. Additionally, during feeding, you can opt for a slightly harder nipple to slow down the feeding speed. There are various preterm baby formulas available, which are produced according to the special constitution of preterm babies and contain high-quality ingredients and rich nutritional components. Feeding preterm babies with specialized formula milk is more beneficial for their healthy development. Under the guidance of a doctor, based on the comprehensive indicators of the growth and development of preterm babies, they can gradually transition to regular formula milk.
