What can premature babies drink in terms of formula milk?

Patient's question:

The baby was born one month premature, and I don't have much milk, so I can only feed the baby with formula. What kind of formula can premature babies drink?

Doctor's answer:

The digestive system of premature infants develops poorer than that of normal infants. Premature infant formula can only be selected and used to replace infant formula when the weight reaches normal (over 2500 grams). For infants lacking lactase, those with chronic diarrhea that causes lactase loss on the intestinal mucosal surface, and those with asthma and skin diseases, hypoallergenic formula, also known as soy-based formula, can be chosen.
