Patient's question:
My baby was born one month premature. The doctor recommended feeding premature infant formula. How long should premature infant formula be given?Doctor's answer:
How long it takes does not have a time limit; it is mainly determined by the growth and development of premature infants. Since premature infants mainly refer to children born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, children born at different gestational ages have their own characteristics. Some are low birth weight, while others are very low birth weight, so the duration of formula feeding for premature infants varies and there is no uniform time. It is best to gradually transition from premature infant formula to regular formula milk, and do not change immediately.
