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.
