Hello,
* Premature babies have under the developed gut immune system and there are all high chances of lactose intolerance and other GI issues with commercial milk preparations.
* In my clinic, I recommend exclusive breastfeed and if at all needed prescribe careful formula on the basis of clinical evaluation only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
