Similac® NeoSure®

SIMILAC^® NEOSURE^®

DHA- and ARA-enriched formula

For use as a breast milk substitute in preterm infants being discharged home. For breastfed preterm infants; supplementing with feedings of prepared post-discharge formula is recommended as a strategy for meeting additional nutrient requirements.¹ Term infant formula (such as Similac Pro-Advance®) can be introduced at the discretion of the health care professional; once the baby has achieved adequate catch-up growth. Some recommendations include: the use of a post-discharge formula should be “individualized to optimize the growth trajectory of the infant over the first year.”¹; use from 40 to 52 weeks post-conception ²; stopping at 4 to 6 months corrected age if all growth parameters are >25th percentile.³ For oral or tube feeding use. Use under medical supervision.
