Similac Neosure Infant Formula for Premature and Low Birth Weight Babies

For Premature and Low–Birth–Weight Babies

Similac NeoSure baby formula helps meet the nutritional needs of premature and low-birth-weight babies after they are discharged from the hospital.

 

Similac NeoSure baby formula has been shown to achieve excellent catch-up growth* and improve early language and visual development†. Plus, it provides:

 

  • Extra calories for energy, plus higher levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals than standard-term formulas for greater weight gain and growth

  • Extra calcium and phosphorus to help support bone development

 

In a published scientific study, premature babies fed Similac NeoSure baby formula for the first year of life had improved growth when compared to premature babies fed term formula.*

 

 

Why Does Your Premature Baby Need a Special Formula?

 

It’s important to continue feeding your baby preterm discharge formula such as Similac NeoSure until he’s 9 months old. Why? So all of those things you can’t see, such as visual development†, early language skills†, and lean body mass‡, can keep developing.

 

Feeding your premature baby Similac NeoSure baby formula for a full nine months will help ensure he achieves healthy growth and development for a strong beginning in life. Because even though he’s catching up on the outside, he still needs to do some important catching up on the inside.

 

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the use of a special baby formula for premature babies to age 9 months results in greater length, weight gain, and bone mineral content compared to baby formulas intended for full-term infants§. It’s great to know you can trust Similac NeoSure as your baby continues to grow. And Similac NeoSure is kosher.

 

Ask your physician if Similac NeoSure baby formula is right for your baby.
