SMA Gold Prem 2 Catch-up Formula Powder SMA Gold Prem 2 Catch-up Formula is specially formulated for low birthweight & preterm babies up to 6 months of age, for use on discharge from hospital or when a low birthweight formula is no longer appropriate. Preterm babies are those born at or before 37 weeks of pregnancy, who typically weigh much less than full-term infants as a significant amount of the baby's weight gain occurs between 36 & 40 weeks of pregnancy.SMA Gold Prem 2 Catch-up Formula provides higher levels of energy, protein, vitamins & minerals compared to typical infant milks. In particular, it contains calcium & phosphorus at the optimum ratio to ensure optimal bone mineralisation in preterm & low-birthweight babies. The nutritionally complete formula is also fortified with iron to help normal cognitive development as preterm babies are more susceptible to iron deficiency as their natural stores have not had time to build completely prior to their early arrival. Omega 3 & 6 LCPs are also included as although they can be made in the body, babies have a high demand for these nutrients.SMA Gold Prem 2 Catch-up Formula should only be used following recommendation by a healthcare professional, who will advise you when your baby is ready to move on to another formula.SMA Gold Prem 2 Catch-up Formula Powder is Halal approved & is suitable for vegetarians.
