Enfamil® Premature 24 Cal/fl oz HP
Milk-based infant formula with extra protein for premature or low birth weight infants who are not being breastfed
Enfamil Premature 24 Cal/fl oz High Protein (HP) is a milk-based infant formula specifically formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of rapidly growing premature or low birth weight infants who do not receive human milk.* Protein is a major driver of lean mass growth and neuro-cognitive outcomes, and Enfamil Premature Nutrition supports these protein needs.
Enfamil Premature 24 Cal/fl oz HP is specifically formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of rapidly growing premature or low birth weight infants
- 3.6 g of protein/100 Calories
- Protein to support catch-up growth and development1-3
- Fat blend is 40% medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil to promote fat absorption4,5
- Carbohydrate blend of 60% corn syrup solids (glucose polymers) and 40% lactose that is easily digested and helps avoid overloading the premature infant's capacity to digest lactose
- Provides approximately 2 mg iron/kg body weight when fed at 120 Cal/kg body weight per day
- 80:20 whey-to-casein ratio patterned after early human milk*
- DHA at 0.34% of total fatty acids, similar to the worldwide breast milk average‡6, to help support blood concentration of DHA as well as brain and eye development7
In a multi-center study, 64% of preterm infants had low vitamin D† concentrations at birth8
Enfamil Premature 24 Cal/fl oz HP has calcium, phosphorus and Vitamin D to help support bone mineralization and growth.
Additional product features:
- Kosher Dairy (OU-D), Halal
*Whey-to-casein ratio 3-5 days after lactation begins.
†Serum 25 (OH) D concentrations <50 nmol/L at birth.
‡Average amount of DHA in worldwide breast milk is 0.32% ± 0.22% (mean ± standard deviation of total fatty acids) based on an analysis of 65 studies of 2,474 women.7
When more than 12 fl oz (355 mL) of 24 Calories/fl oz product is used per day, which may occur in larger infants weighing over 2500 g (5.5 lbs) consuming only Enfamil Premature, intake of some nutrients (eg, fat soluble vitamins) may be excessive. In such circumstances, it should be used only at the direction and under the supervision of a doctor. Enfamil® NeuroPro EnfaCare® ↗ may be a product to consider in such circumstances.*
*Increased caloric density, protein, and some vitamins and minerals compared to standard term formula to help support weight and growth in babies born prematurely.
