Premature babiesany ideas on weaning
my baby was born at 34 week he is now 13 weeks old, my hv keeps calling him a 7 week old! which really annoys me, i was advised to start giving him juice last week as he was having probs doing poops and he's absolutly loving it, since trying something with a bit of flavour he has gone off his milk and guzzles the juice, i was thinking about trying to wean but not sure wether to cos of the age thing and not pooping much, my mum keeps saying i should try weaning as i was having rusk from 3 months old but im really not sure, any ideas anyone, i would really appreciate it.
Hi there
I started weaning my first at 3months as he was taking an interest in food, but my second baby didnt start untill 6 months it all depends when you think there ready.
I started with baby ceral, the powder mix where you just add there milk to it or water. You could even start with very soft fruit like melon or peach. My second prefered this as she enjoys feeding herself more than me doing it.
hi, i had a prem baby that was born at 32 weeks, my health visitor was exactly the same, my little boy started to get hungary and i started him on baby rice which he took to straight away at 4 months he now eats jarred food ony porridge and baby rice pudding but he loves them and is gaining weight really nicely.
my little boy is 17 weeks and was born 7 weeks early but was waking up before he was due feeds so started giving him a bit of rusk mixed with his milk and now he sleeps through the night!! started it about 3 days ago and he has 1/2 a rusk twice a day and he seems so much happier now!!
