Lactodex-LBW Premature Baby Powder is a specially designed LBW milk powder for preterm infants. The LBW full form in medical terms stands for 'Low Birth Weight', referring to babies born before the 37th week of gestation and weighing less than 2.5 kg.

This unique formulation ensures these tiny ones receive all the essential nutrients required for their healthy growth. Lactodex LBW powder is packed with ingredients that help promote normal growth, brain and eye development, and support the immune system. Additionally, this LBW milk powder is easy for these delicate digestive systems to process.

For parents of premature babies, Lactodex-LBW powder offers a comprehensive nutrition solution to promote their little one’s healthy development. It's not an alternative to lactogen LBW but a specially tailored formula for preterm infants' specific needs.
