What formula is suitable for premature infants

Patient's question:

The baby was born with intestinal torsion and underwent surgery. After that, the baby has not been growing well. Now at one year old, the baby weighs only 13 pounds. Before six months, the baby was fed with deep (hydrolyzed formula). After six months, the doctor recommended premature infant formula. Now at one year old, the doctor said the premature infant formula cannot be consumed anymore. What formula should I switch to in order to catch up with the growth of normal children?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, it is recommended to switch from premature infant formula to regular formula milk when the baby is one year old. Avoid sudden changes and give the baby a recovery period. Start by reducing the amount gradually to allow the baby to adjust, and then slowly increase the quantity over time. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent cold exposure. This is the advice for the question "Premature infant formula cannot be consumed, what formula should I switch to?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
