Hi,
Mother’s milk is the best for baby. However, in preterms, the requirements will be high and the production may not be sufficient. You can give supplements like Nanpro or Similac.
Similac is more or less similar to human milk and help to gain adequate weight. If baby can not suck. You can give Palada feeds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
