Similac NeoSure Advance Premature Infant Formula Powder with Iron, 12.8 Ounces

NeoSure Advance Infant Formula with IronProvides higher levels of nutrients for better growth.The same trusted formulation as Similac NeoSure, with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid).DHA and ARA are fatty acids found in human milk that support brain and eye development. Recent research showed that adding DHA and ARA to preterm formulas could benefit preterm infants. In this study, premature infants fed a preterm formula (in hospital) and NeoSure Advance (postdischarge) supplemented with DHA and ARA until 12 months corrected age(CA) had improved visual development (measured at 6 months of age) and early language development in subset of infants.1 (Per NICU practice, these babies also received human milk.)Preterm discharge formulas, like NeoSure Advance, have higher levels of protein, calories, and many key vitamins and minerals as compared to term formulas (like Similac Advance) when mixed according to directions. These nutrients support growth and assist in preventing nutrient deficiencies. 2 The American Academy of Pediatrics states that the use of preterm discharge formula to postnatal age of 9 months may result in greater linear growth, weight gain, and bone mineral content compared with the use of term infant formulas.NeoSure Advance provides a higher level of nutrients on per calorie basis that premature babies need for good growth and development. NeoSure Advance should be used only as directed by a doctor.
