Question for mums who had premature baby...
Hi ladies,
poppy was born at 36+2 she is now nearly
8weeks old and still isn't focusing or following
objects.
She is technically 4weeks from her due date.
We went to hospital today and they have refered
her for her eyes!
I'm really worried that she may have eye sight
or brain problems...
Has anyone elses babys taken longer to focus?
Respond???
I'm sooo worried

Amelia is 15 weeks old (3weeks corrected) She is still not smiling or babbling despite my HV telling me she should have reached these milestones already...! She doesn't always focus at things like toys we put near her preferring to stare into space! x
better! Again it's the HV that is putting things
in my head... When they asked about fixing and
focusing - I said no not yet and she was like "oh,oh
well u need to mention this to the docs" and this is
what got me totally paranoid something was wrong!
Thanks for the reasurrance that ur lo is in the same
boat! Xx hope ur enjoying being a mummy xxx

i had my little girl at 36 +1 so she is 7 weeks today but my health visitor said they look at her like she is a 2 week old and they would only expect her to do things that a 2 week old baby woulds be doing , so i wouldnt worry too much hun , evryday we think ella is going to smile , but do u know what she'll smile in her own time and they all develop diferently some health vicitors are a pain and m,ake u worry for nothing x i'm sure yr baby is doing just fine x
