How does SMA Gold Prem 2 Preterm Formula work?

It contains easily digestible proteins and fats, along with appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals, to support catch-up growth and development in premature babies after hospital discharge.

Is SMA Gold Prem 2 suitable for all preterm infants?

SMA Gold Prem 2 is designed for preterm low birthweight babies upon discharge from hospital. It's not intended for use with newborn preterm infants, who may require fortified breast milk or a different low birthweight formula. Always consult with a healthcare professional before use.

Can SMA Gold Prem 2 be mixed with other foods or supplements?

It's generally recommended to use SMA Gold Prem 2 as the sole source of nutrition up to 6 months corrected age. Any additions or changes to the feeding regimen should only be made under medical supervision to ensure the infant's nutritional needs are met appropriately.

The liquid format of SMA Gold Prem 2 offers convenience and reduces the risk of contamination during preparation. It's particularly useful when hygienic preparation conditions can't be guaranteed or for immunocompromised infants. However, the nutritional content remains the same as the powder version.

Usage and Instructions

This formula is typically used up to 6 months corrected age, which is calculated as the estimated due date plus 26 weeks. However, the duration may vary based on the infant's individual growth and development. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential.
