Question
The twin dragon and phoenix babies weigh five catties for the brother and four and a half catties for the sister. Although they were born at 38 weeks, they have low birth weight. The maternity nurse suggests drinking preterm formula milk, but it requires a doctor’s prescription. Is it suitable for them to drink this type of milk?
Answer
Full-term twin babies with low birth weight can consider being given preterm formula milk. Preterm formula milk is easier to digest and absorb, which can help the baby gain weight. You can try it for a period of time and observe the baby’s reaction. If the baby has symptoms such as thinner stools or green stools, you should decide whether to continue using it based on the baby’s specific condition. I hope this advice is helpful to you, and wish you health!
