Why is Optimal Nutrition Vital for Premature Infants’ Growth and Development?
Growth Support
Premature infants bypass the critical final stages of intrauterine development, a pivotal period for essential growth and maturation within the mother’s womb.
Organ Development
Optimal premature nutrition supports organ development such as the brain and lungs. It provides essential fatty acids for neurodevelopment, while nutrients like vitamin A and phospholipids help in pulmonary maturation.
Immune System Support
Energy Requirements
Premature babies require additional energy to promote growth and activity. This premature baby milk fortifier is composed of necessary calories that provide the energy your baby needs.
Protein Needs
Adequate protein intake is essential for the development of muscles, tissues, and organs in premature infants.
