[Dysphagia] Transition to Solids for premature infants

A colleague  and I were discussing when to recommend parents of
premature babies to begin trialling solids.  We realized that there is
conflicting information in the literature about this.  Does anyone know
whether you go by their adjusted age and how many weeks/months you are
meant to wait?  Any research out there that you know of would be greatly
appreciated. 

Regards
