morning giries,
On advice of Paediatrician we have to start introducing solids to Matthew to try and get his weight up (7 weeks prem) he's 26 weeks (19 corrected), I have a few questions I was hoping some lovely ladies ould answer for me......
1. Do I introduce solids with a formula feed i.e Mathew gets his second fee d at 11.30am thought that would be best place to start, he had a 2 baby spoons of baby rice yest and loved it but im sure I read somewhere to introduce foods outwith feeds is this correct? ie in-between feeds
2. Roughly how long do I stick with one meal was thinking a few days on 2 spoon fulls then gradually increase it when he's happily taking that for 2 weeks or so trying diferent foods maybe introduce pureed veg or fruit at say tea time (his feed is a 3.30 then 7.30 so was thinking 5.30pm for solids?)
3. When do I start introducing things like butter and cheese to purees etc to introduce small amounts of fat etc obv its too soon now but when is a good time?
Sorry for the long post I rather clueless

We started bwith baby riceafter her morning milk feed. Did this for about a week and then introduced a lunchtime meal of fruit/ pureed veg, and the after another week or so added in her 3rd meal at tea time. Whilst its still new to you I'd say just give the meals whenever works for you. We soon settled into a routine and now she has. Morning milk feed about 7am, Brekkie 7.30-8, Late morning milk feed 11-11.30 am, Lunch 12.30-1, Late afternoon milk feed between 3-4, Dinner about 5-6 and then Milk at 7. This routine just kinda happened after a few weeks. 
Hope it goes well and that he enjoys his grub.
