I waited until 6 monthes with my oldest. With my second one I started trying at 6 monthes but he wasn't really interesting in eating much until he was 12 months old. Even now at 2, he would rather drink milk then eat.
i started eddie on banana (not cereal - he didn't need the ron in the cereal and cereal can constipate) at like 7 mos. actual age/5 mos adjusted.
follow ace's lead. if he's grabbing your plate and such maybe let him have a taste. go slow too in introducing new foods. checkout wholesomebabyfood.com for some ideas on introducing foods.
you'll learn that no one has much info on preemie development. some preemies go at a faster rate than others. an no one has cared enough to study any of this yet. so, pray lots, enjoy ace and try to follow his lead.
good luck.
Just a thought - I think four months is too soon for MY son, who was ten days late. And Ace is six weeks "younger" than him. That said, I was six weeks early, and my mom gave me cereal at two weeks, or what should have been 36 weeks gestation if I hadn't been so impatient.
Rilee started on Rice ceral at 3 months cuz god bless the little booger he just wasnt getting enough to eat but he was not premature, as matter of fact i remember thinking at one point that my child was never coming out of there! So im not any help at all just thought i would tell you if it helps any.?>?
