Hello! It is good that you understand your child' s appetite. You did good that you started with preNAN because it is hypercaloric milk suitable for premature babies to gain weight fast, and then started with NAN 1. You can feed your baby as many times as he/she wants despite what instructions say because they refer to the average babies. NAN 2 should be introduced when your baby will be 6 months old up to 1 year old, and NAN 3 should be introduced from 1 year up to 3 years old. You can start to introduce solid food to your baby between 4 to 6 months. I hope I answered your question.
