Patient's question:
My son was born prematurely, and now I want to know what kind of formula can help him grow a bit faster?Doctor's answer:
For premature infants, if there is breast milk, it is best to breastfeed. Breast milk is the most suitable way to feed premature infants. Mothers should be encouraged to maintain breast milk as much as possible. If breast milk is insufficient, formula milk can also be considered for artificial feeding of premature infants. Premature infants digest and absorb sugar best, followed by protein, and digest and absorb fat the worst. Therefore, semi-skimmed milk is an ideal formula for premature infants and should not exceed one month.
