Enriched with DHA and essential nutrients, this high-energy formula helps promote catch-up growth, healthy brain development, and overall nourishment during the critical early stages of life. Its whey-dominant protein profile supports easier digestion and improved nutrient absorption, while the nutrient-dense composition is carefully tailored for premature babies under medical supervision. Packed in a hygienic 400g tin with a pre-measured scoop, it ensures safe and accurate feeding preparation for optimal infant care.
How to Prepare Dexolac Special Care Preterm Formula:
Pro Tip: Never use a microwave to prepare or warm infant formula, as it can cause uneven heating and severe burns to your baby's mouth, while also destroying valuable nutrients.

Dexolac Special Care Preterm Formula Powder 400g Tin is a specialised infant milk substitute designed for premature babies and infants with low birth weight. It provides enhanced calories, protein, DHA, and essential minerals to support catch-up growth, brain development, and bone strength when mother's milk is unavailable or insufficient.
Yes. Mother's milk is always the best and most natural food for babies, providing tailored antibodies and nutrition. Preterm formulas are only recommended when breast milk is unavailable or when a paediatrician advises supplementary feeding for necessary weight gain.
Dexolac Special Care is uniquely formulated for the high metabolic demands of premature and low-birth-weight babies. It contains more calories, higher protein content, and adjusted calcium-to-phosphorus ratios compared to standard term-baby formulas (like Dexolac Stage 1) to accelerate catch-up growth.
No, it is highly recommended to prepare the formula fresh for each feed to prevent bacterial growth. If you absolutely must prepare it ahead, store it in the back of the refrigerator (at 2-4°C) immediately after mixing and use it within 24 hours.
The feeding volume and frequency depend entirely on the baby's current weight, gestational age, and specific nutritional needs. Always follow the exact dosage chart and schedule prescribed by your paediatrician.
Yes. The specialised high-protein and high-calorie density formulation of this preterm baby milk powder is specifically engineered to help premature and low-birth-weight infants achieve healthy catch-up weight gain milestones.
Premature babies miss out on the vital third-trimester transfer of fatty acids from the mother. DHA and ARA are added to bridge this gap, supporting critical brain cell development, cognitive function, and visual acuity.
No. It features a whey-dominant protein profile, which means the proteins are smaller, softer, and much easier for a premature baby's underdeveloped gastrointestinal tract to break down and absorb, thereby reducing the chances of colic or constipation.
After opening the foil seal, tightly close the plastic lid after every use. The contents of the tin should be completely consumed within 3 weeks of opening, or before the expiry date printed on the bottom, whichever is earlier.
Most paediatricians recommend continuing preterm formula until the baby reaches a standard "term" weight or hits specific catch-up growth milestones (usually around 40 weeks post-conceptual age or beyond). Consult your doctor before transitioning to standard term formula.
