Postdischarge formulae are specifically designed
for preterm infants after discharge from hospital.
These are energy (about 72 to 74 kcal/100 ml) and
protein (about 1.8 to 1.9 g/100 ml) enriched, and
variably enriched with minerals, vitamins, and
trace elements compared to standard term formula.
Expert bodies and authorities recommend these
formulae for preterm infants for three to twelve
months post-discharge [31]
