Patient's question:
Twin dragon and phoenix babies. The siblings were born at 38 weeks full term, but their weight is a bit low. The older brother weighs 5 pounds, and the younger sister weighs 4 and a half pounds. The postpartum nurse collects premature formula milk. However, it is written above that there must be a medical prescription. Is it suitable to drink this formula?Doctor's answer:
Twins, although full-term, have low birth weight, so premature formula can be given. The low birth weight makes it easier for the baby to digest premature formula. With good absorption, the baby's weight will increase quickly. You can try feeding it for a period of time and carefully observe the baby. Some babies who drink this type of formula may have thinner stools or green stools, so you should first test it and then decide whether to continue based on the baby's condition. This is my suggestion for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
