Do any of you find your babies very laid back after being premature? I only have 1 baby born 8weeks early but everyone i have spoken to that has had a premature baby says they are very content and didnt cry alot to be held or changed. I put this down to the fact the first few weeks or months they are not handled and have a routine like George was changed every 6hrs and feed by a tube so no need to pick him up and cuddles were very limited and now he is still prety chilled think i could leave him with anyone (wouldnt though) all i mean is that he dosnt see my mum or sister that much but when they baby sit he never minds and always smiles at strangers anyway enough said what about you?

Both boys were good with strangers though but I definately attribute Caleb's chilled out-ness to both being in NICU/SCBU and possibly my husband being more of a chilled out person than I am - he has been his main carer for the last 6 months. I took C to the hairdressers this morning and he just sat and cooed and smiled at everyone - I'd never have been able to do that with Joshua!
hes a real smiler and isnt fussed who holds him as long as he gets cuddles, lol
Until he was about 4 months he hated getting nappy changes, being naked, baths and would just cry for no apparent reason but he soon began to enjoy these times.
