Features
A 24 Cal/fl oz low-iron feeding for growing, low-birth-weight infants and premature infants. Low-iron formula allows for additional iron to be supplied as necessary.
Similac® Special Care® 24 Low Iron has been clinically shown to improve early language and visual development and body composition,1,2*,†,‡
DHA and ARA, special nutrients found in breast milk shown to improve visual development in preterm infants
Very low-birth-weight infants are particularly susceptible to gastrointestinal complications; therefore, feeding should be initiated cautiously
Tolerance to enteral feedings should be confirmed by initially offering small volumes of hypocaloric formula followed by cautious progression to higher caloric feedings. Spitting up, excessive gastric residuals, abdominal distention, abnormal stools or stool patterns, or other signs of intestinal dysfunction have been associated with enteral feeding before the intestinal tract is ready to accommodate the regimen. At the first sign of these problems, enteral feeding should be slowed or discontinued
Additional iron may be supplied from other sources as necessary
Not intended for feeding low-birth-weight infants after they reach a weight of 3600 g (approximately 8 lb) or as directed by a doctor
Has a patented blend of special breast milk nutrients called nucleotides to help support the developing immune system
Provides calcium and phosphorus at concentrations necessary to achieve intrauterine accretion rates
