hypoallergenic preterm formula
Explanation:
There is not a single Google hit for PMHA Nahrung. I therefore suspect that it is a typo for Pre HA Nahrung which would certainly make sense in the context.

Quote:
If it is not possible for the baby to take breast milk, special preterm formulas can be used. These formulas have a higher amount of fat and protein to meet the special growth needs of premature babies. Once babies reach 34 - 36 weeks gestation, they can be switched to regular formula.

Bei zu starker Gewichtsabnahme des Babys in der ersten Lebenswoche oder bei zu geringer Gewichtszunahme in der Zeit danach, muß zugefüttert werden. Entweder pasteurisierte Spender-Muttermilch von der Frauenmilchsammelstelle oder "Pre"Nahrung (Säuglingsanfangsnahrung). Bei Folgemilchnahrungen mit "1" oder "2" im Handelsnamen besteht die Gefahr der Überfütterung und sie sollten nicht vor dem vollendeten 4. Lebensmonat gegeben werden.

Alternatively "PMHA" could be a doctor's individual abbreviation for "premature HA"

agree  Ingeborg Gowans: I had the same experience, trying to google this term and gave up last night. this would be a very plausible explanation. I thought the P and M might have been for Phosphate and magnesium, but that was a long shot
