I went in to labour at 34+5 but she was born the next day. Harley was born 35+1
i weaned Dior at 12 weeks. but i had no idea then and was not clued up on being a mum. i thought you HAD to wean them at that age
i tryed Harley with solids at 4 months. but he was not interested and i weaned him at 6 months.

Hiya Hev.

Personally as she was early I would definitley make sure you stick to the 6 month guideline. Talk to your HV but I'm sure she will say the same thing.

I don't agree with weaning before 4 months at all, but with a premmie I would personally wait the full 6 months, just to be on the safe side.
