How do Preterm Formulas Differ from Standard Infant Formulas?
Preterm formulas are specifically tailored to address the unique nutritional deficiencies that preterm infants face. For example, they contain more protein and calories per ounce compared to standard formulas. Additionally, the levels of micronutrients like calcium and phosphorus are adjusted to support bone growth. They also often have modified fat and carbohydrate sources that are easier for immature digestive systems to handle.
