Leading baby nutrition research for over 100 years
Our expert team at SMA® Nutrition is dedicated to understanding the unique nutritional needs of babies born prematurely and to applying these learnings to our own products. We have been leading research in baby nutrition for over 100 years and have produced SMA Gold Prem® 2, a nutritionally complete post-discharge formula for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies who are not solely fed breast milk.
SMA Gold Prem® 2 is a special catch-up formula intended for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies who are not solely fed breast milk. It is a nutritionally complete formula for use on discharge from hospital or when a low birthweight formula is no longer appropriate. It is suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition up to 6 months corrected age.
SMA Gold Prem® 2 should only be used following recommendation by a healthcare professional. For enteral use only. Your healthcare professional will advise you when to move from SMA Gold Prem® 2 to another formula.
Preterm is defined as infants born at or before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Infants who are born prematurely weigh much less than term infants, this is because a significant amount of the baby's weight gain occurs between 36 and 40 weeks of pregnancy.

Preparing your baby's feed
Whilst this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill.
-
Step 1
Pull the safety seal and open the lid. The scoop is provided under the lid. Lift the tab, pull on the foil seal, carefully and safely remove the seal and dispose of it.
-
Step 2
Wash hands well. Wash and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
-
Step 3
Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes. Measure the required amount of water (see feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, carefully – the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
-
Step 4
Using only the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder (see feeding guide), levelling off each scoop with the back of a clean dry knife. Store the scoop in suspension inside the can and replace lid.
-
Step 5
Place the sterilized teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until powder is fully dissolved. Cool bottle under cold running water or in a bowl or jug of cold water until lukewarm, do not immerse the teat.

This table is a guide only; your baby may need more or less than the volumes stated. If you require more advice, consult your healthcare professional. Remember to feed your baby on demand. Nutritional requirements of preterm and low birthweight infants vary according to the age, weight and clinical conditions of each infant. Mix 1 scoop of powder to 30 ml (approx. 1 fl. oz.) of water. Approx. 83 scoops per can. 1 scoop = 4.8g. Note: 3 scoops of powder added to 90 ml (3 fl. oz. approx.) water makes 100 ml (3½ fl. oz. approx.) milk.

Important notice
Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. This product must be used under medical supervision. SMA Gold Prem® 2 is a special catch-up formula intended for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies who are not solely fed breast milk. It is a nutritionally complete formula for use on discharge from hospital or when a low birthweight formula is no longer appropriate. It is suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition up to 6 months corrected age. SMA Gold Prem® 2 is not intended for use with newborn preterm babies, for whom fortified breast milk or a low birthweight formula such as SMA Gold Prem® 1 is more appropriate. SMA Gold Prem® 2 is not suitable for those who are allergic to cows’ milk protein, lactose intolerant or who suffer from galactosaemia or require a galactose free diet.
When bottle-feeding, do not allow prolonged or frequent contact of milk feeds with teeth as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Ask your healthcare professional or dentist for advice. Always hold your baby while feeding. Do not leave baby unattended as they might choke.
