Warnings

Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. This product must be used under medical supervision. SMA Gold Prem 2 is a special catch-up formula intended for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies who are not solely fed breast milk. It is a nutritionally complete formula for use on discharge from hospital or when a low birthweight formula is no longer appropriate. It is suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition up to 6 months corrected age. SMA Gold Prem 2 is not intended for use with newborn preterm babies, for whom fortified breast milk or a low birthweight formula such as SMA Gold Prem 1 is more appropriate. SMA Gold Prem 2 is not suitable for those who are allergic to cows' milk protein, lactose intolerant or who suffer from galactosaemia or require a galactose free diet. This product must be used under medical supervision. Thickened formula may require a fast flow-teat. Do not add extra powder or water to make feeds stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill. We recommend preparing each feed in individual bottles when required. For hygienic reason, discard unfinished feed in the bottle as soon as possible. For older babies, made-up formulae can be added to food. Do not alter or add to formula unless medically directed. Do not warm feeds in microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding. Remember, cow's milk should not be used as a drink during the first year. When bottle-feeding, do not allow prolonged or frequent contact of milk feeds with teeth as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Ask your healthcare professional or dentist for advice. Always hold your baby while feeding. Do not leave baby unattended as they might choke.
