How early is it safe to start weaning a preme baby?

My LO is 18 weeks - but only 14weeks corrected - he's been draining my breasts for the last few days and been a bit miserable as if still hungry. I wanted to wait til 6 months - but obviously if he's not happy I can't very well starve the poor little mite.

The bumpf I've read says not to wean until a baby is 17 weeks, but is this real age or corrected age?

Thanks ladies
 
ive been told to throw away the book and go by baby as prems devolop diff . if his showing signs maybe try baby rice ?
 
Hannah was just over 4 weeks prem and she was weaned at 16 weeks
 
I've been told the same- prems are different and tend to wean earlier in real terms. To be honest If the child is hungry then go for it, as long as it's only baby rice or very light things what harm can it do :lol: lots of luck :hug:
