Hello everyone

I'm trying to find out what recommendations there are for timing of 
introduction of solid foods for premature babies.  A search in the 
Archives shows a huge amount of discussion regarding when to start 
solids in full-term babies, including watching for developmental 
readiness.  However if a baby is born 1, 2, 3 months before the 
normal 40 weeks, what then?  Is it recommended to start introducing 
foods other than breastmilk at 6 months from birth, or at 6 months 
corrected gestational age?

Thanks for any opinions, thoughts and especially references.
