A. Since your baby was born prematurely at 34 weeks and has been on pre-NAN, a formula specifically designed for preterm or low-birth-weight babies, it’s good to consider transitioning to a standard infant formula as he approaches term age (around 40 weeks post-conception). Pro-NAN 1 (or a similar stage 1 formula) is typically suitable for full-term babies from birth onwards.
However, because your baby was preterm, it’s best to discuss any formula change with your pediatrician. They can assess if your baby is ready to switch based on his growth, weight gain, and overall health. The pediatrician might recommend gradually introducing Pro-NAN 1 while monitoring how your baby adjusts, as some babies may need a slower transition to ensure their digestive system adapts well.
In summary:
1. Consult your pediatrician before making any changes to ensure your baby is ready.
2. Gradual transition: If advised, start by mixing pre-NAN with Pro-NAN 1 for a few days to help your baby adjust.
3. Monitor his growth and digestion closely during the transition phase.
The doctor’s guidance will help ensure your baby continues to grow and develop healthily.
