Product Description
Usage
A 20 Cal/fl oz low-iron premature infant formula for growing, low-birth-weight infants. Low-iron formula allows for additional iron to be supplied as necessary.
Precautions
- 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.
Features
- Similac Special Care 20 Low Iron has a nutrient profile identical to Similac® Special Care® 24 per 100 Cal
- Has DHA and ARA, ingredients shown to help baby's brain and eyes develop
