milestone delays????
Hi my daughter was born at 35 weeks as dates go but paedatrician thinks she was about 34 weeks!
she was a good weight (5 70z) but not too suprised at that as my last baby was 9lb 4oz!
Anyway, she doing well though she colicky and grouchy from about 4pm till midnight! However, she not really smiling as such yet. She will be 6 weeks on tues. My others smiled at about 3 to 4 weeks. she is otherwise very alert and looks intentley at me but no smiles. I thought she did the other day but it wa wind!!!!!
Do early babies reach milestones as they should or age corrected???
Thanks

Kenny also had colic in the evenings and its hard work but it will pass, I used Infacol but it didnt really help.

I also used Infacol for Kara when she had a bit of colic and I found this worked well. It effects all babies different. I hope it passes soon for you.

Oh and I also gave her Infacol to help her with her colic and wind and it helped her a lot.
Colic still bad but she has her 6 week check in morning so will speak to doctor then.
thanks again

I have been bleeding.. thats why they think ill go into labor early. My midwife and doc said for me to have my bags packed and ready to go for the baby. but i realy hope i make it all the way to the end.
I really hope your bubba decides its nicer in the warm tummy and stays put.

I hope your lo stays in longer but don't worry if it happens. Everything will turn out fine and the staff at the hospitals are more than able to cope with this.

Just wanted to ask if when you all go and get baby weighed does your doctor plot the chart as age adjusted or as the age they are there and then. Mine keep going back 5 weeks and I am confused. Surely he should take her at the weight she is...Ok i understand it will probably look like she is too small for her age but I just feel its complicating her charts.
thanks

Yes my health visitors do age adjust my lo too for his weight - I am glad though as he is just following the 9th centile and if they didn't age adjust him he would be too small and not even on the chart!
It is because those last weeks in the womb they put on LOADS of weight so it is only fair to even the early ones out - glad my lo was early int hat respect as at 34+2 he was born weighing 5lb6 so they reckon he would have been a ten pound woper if he had gone to term! OUCH!

I found it hard to not have her by my bed and my hat really goes out to you lot who had to leave hospital without your babies. I was lucky to be in for 8 night due to losing a lot of blood and then suspected DVT.. meant she could come home with me which was lovely.
She gets weighed again on the 18th but think she has slowed right down but as I bf her that is normal. She is healthy and happy..
