Feeding premature babies is a special subject. Standard follow-on formulas may not meet the high calorie, protein, vitamin, and mineral density that a premature baby needs. For this reason, specially formulated 'premature/low birth weight baby formulas' (post-discharge formulas) exist for use after hospital discharge.
But which formula to use, for how long, and at what strength depends on your baby's birth week, birth weight, discharge weight, and growth rate. This decision must be made by the pediatrician or neonatologist managing your baby's follow-up. Recommending a general brand name isn't appropriate, because the recommended formula must be specific to your baby.
In short: There are special formulas for premature babies, but which one is right for your baby, how long to use it, and when to switch to standard formula should be determined by your doctor.
