Hi doctor. My baby was born prematurely at 7 and a half months. So when should I give my baby solid foods, doctor? I hope you can answer my question.

Choosing the right time to introduce solid foods to your baby sometimes makes many mothers worry, especially for premature babies. However, it is necessary to have a more active weaning regimen for premature babies, ensuring adequate provision of the necessary energy to develop in time like other children of the same age.

A baby is considered premature when born before the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature babies, especially extremely premature babies, are more sensitive than full-term babies. Therefore, the diet of premature babies also needs more attention, especially when it comes to weaning. So when should premature babies start weaning?
