Solid Foods

Ok, quick question. Since preemies are eating since the day they are born - do we have to go by their adjusted age to introduce solids or can we go by their real age?

    You are going to get both answers on here and from doctors. We are waiting until 6m actual 4 m adj because he seems to be starting to show an interest now but we are waiting bc of the aap recommendations.

    We have occasionally tried since 6 months actual but our boys show zero interest so far. I think the key is that they need to have good neck and decent trunk control.

    We started our DS at 4 actual.  But, he's a good eater and was ready.  I think it really depends on the baby.

    We started at 6 months actual.  We are doing more BLW vs. purees and she is mainly playing right now but seems to be enjoying it. I do think it depends on the baby though.  There is no way she would have been ready at 4 months.
