There are only two brands of premature formula. They are Enfamil EnfaCare and Similac NeoSure. Both are 22kcal/oz when prepared per package instructions.

For some babies, concentrating the formula may be appropriate. In these cases, it should be emphasized to prepare the powder formula with very hot water and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
