What kind of formula is good for premature infants?

Patient's question:

My constitution is relatively weak. When I gave birth to my child, I was premature due to the umbilical cord twisting. What kind of formula should premature babies eat?

Doctor's answer:

For premature infants, formula should be specially prepared for them and have high nutritional value. Most existing infant formula formulations are based on the composition of breast milk, with slight differences in the proportions of a small number of nutritional components. Among them, whey protein is particularly important, accounting for about 27% of breast milk protein, more than a quarter, while it only makes up 4% of cow's milk. Whey protein is one of the important indicators for judging the quality of formula, because it is the most similar to breast milk protein and retains many advantages of breast milk protein.
