Eye contact -prem baby...
Hi girls,
Poppy is 7weeks today but has yet to make
any eye contact! She did arrive at 36weeks
so should I be counting her development as
3weeks?
I'm really worried as her eyes don't appear to
focus on anything and If I wave my hand in front
of her eyes she doesn't respond etc
Please help!

Yes always work on her correct age (My LO was born at 35 weeks and I still need to remember this in terms of her development!).
If she's 7 weeks old, have you had or got booked your GP checkup for her and yourself? If so then the doc should check her eyesight and you can mention it as a concern to them at that appointment.

she is 3weeks??? Instead of nearly 7weeks?
My daughter was almost 4 weeks early and to be honest she isn't really behind at all (6 1/2 months) but I always try to keep in mind her corrected age when thinking about her development just to allow for that leeway and so I don't stress about whether she's 'behind' or not.

My boys are behind on everything - and at 9 months are not sitting unaided, and Alfie doesnt really roll, but my HV keeps telling me not to worry, and she doesnt!
HTH
Gemma, Ryan and Alfie 9 months tomorrow!
Mention the eye thing to doc/HV just so they can check to see what they think, better that than miss something.
