Description

#119: When can premature babies start solid foods? If your baby was born before 40 weeks gestation you might have heard the term “adjusted age”. In this episode we’re analyzing this concept of adjusted or corrected age and determining what it’s telling us about your baby’s readiness to start solid foods.   Babies who were born early need additional time to catch up developmentally before they are safe to start solid foods. Learn how to calculate your baby’s adjusted age, how long you need to use this corrected age for and the other signs to look for if you’re analyzing whether or not your premature baby is ready to start the transition to solid foods.     If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
