When do I introduce solids to my former preemies?
This whole gestational age thing is confusing. My twins were born at 28 weeks in early September. They weren't due until Thanksgiving. Now they are 5 months old and super chunky 😊 My little man is about 15 pounds and my little girl is 14. My pediatrician said that he's in the 90th perctile for his weight. So the question is, when do I start solids? At gestational 6 months or by a certain weight? I feel like they've been playing catch up and are more advanced than their gestational 2 months age. I know they have to be able to hold their head up for solids. My ped said that we could add rice cereal to milk for reflux because he was big enough. When did you preemie moms introduce solids?
Little man is inbetween sizes. He's wearing 3-6 month clothes, but his feet don't reach.
