Re: Possible Diet for PreMature Baby ?
engrshami,
I dont think the weight matters too much in feeeing, its more important that their digestive system is mature enough to process food. My son wasnt premature but he was very tiny, I think even smaller at 5 months than yours if I remember right.
But if you start really slowly with food, you should be able to tell pretty quickly if he's ready for it. The worst thing that would happen is that his body isnt ready so he gets constipated. This can be uncomfortable for baby but isnt dangerous. My son was always constipated! It helped him when I put a warm towel on his belly or gave it a light massage. But hopefully, all will go well and what goes in will come out!
Let us know how it goes!
