If this baby is so young, it is much too early for her to have solids and
they will not help her growth, but rather might impede her
development and increase her risk of alllergies. B/c dwarfism is a risk
for these babies, early growth is essential. I would suggest mom
pump much for frequently--there is always more fat available in a
more empty breast. Then, the baby can be fed this higher fat milk to
improve growth. If she is old enough, cod liver oil can be very helpful.
Again, if she is old enough for solid foods, there are far better foods
to give her than bananas or cereal.
