Patient's question:
My baby was born prematurely. I heard from a friend that there are premature infant formulas. What are premature infant formulas, and what is the best to eat?Doctor's answer:
Generally, premature infants have low immunity at birth and are prone to illness. Premature infant formula needs to contain fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), which help in the development of premature infants. Premature infant formula has been imported into China for about 6-7 years, and all of them are foreign products, but the quantity is limited. As a special nutritional food, the demand for premature infant formula is very low and cannot enter various markets like ordinary infant formula. Additionally, this product has a unique formula, high-quality raw material requirements, strict hygiene indicators, and difficult processing.
