sma Gold Prem 2 Milk Powder (400g Tub)

sma Gold Prem 2 Milk Powder (400g Tub) – Catch-up formula, for preterm and low birthweight infants:  

This formula should only be used on the advice of a healthcare professional. For preterm babies up to 6 months corrected age when discharged from hospital or when a low birthweight formula is no longer appropriate.

Preterm is defined as infants born at or before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Infants who are born prematurely weigh much less than term infants, this is because a significant amount of the baby’s weight gain occurs between 36 and 40 weeks of pregnancy.

SMA Gold Prem 2 benefits from over 90 years experience in advancing baby nutrition, and is a nutritionally complete catch-up formula specifically designed to provide nutritional support for preterm and low birthweight infants when discharged from hospital.

Halal approved.

Why SMA Gold Prem 2?

Calcium and phosphorus for bone development:

Calcium is essential for optimal bone growth and mineralisation. The correct ratio of calcium and phosphorus is critical for preterm and low-birthweight babies to ensure optimal bone mineralisation.

Omega 3 & 6 LCPs (Long Chain Polyunsaturates):

LCPs are important components of cell membranes and play a key role in the development of the brain, eye, and nervous system. Although LCPs can be made in the body, babies have a high demand for these nutrients. SMA Gold Prem 2 contains Omega 3 & 6 LCPs to help ensure bottle-fed babies aren’t missing out on these important nutrients.

Fortified with iron to help brain development:

Babies who are preterm are more susceptible to iron deficiency as their natural stores have not had time to build completely prior to their early arrival. Iron is very important for growth and brain development. SMA Gold Prem 2 is fortified with iron, to help brain development.

Preparing your baby’s feed – powders.

1. Whilst SMA products are made under strict hygienic conditions, they are not sterile. Make sure you follow these instructions on preparation and storage, or you could make your baby ill.
2. Wash hands well. Sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions. After 6 months, if you are using a beaker it is not necessary to sterilise equipment, though you should ensure everything is fully cleaned.
3. Boil kettle filled with fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes before measuring the required amount of water (see feeding guide on can) into the sterilised bottle or beaker, carefully – the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened water or repeatedly boiled water.
4. Using the scoop provided in the can, add the correct number of scoops of powder (see feeding guide on can), levelling off each scoop with either the handy built-in leveller in the can (only available on some cans) or with the back of a clean dry knife. Replace plastic lid on can.
5. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle or lid on the beaker and shake well. Cool bottle or beaker under cold running water until lukewarm. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist.

If advance preparation is necessary, consult your healthcare professional.
