My LO was born nearly 4 weeks early and I was just wondering if that would make any difference to her development? She's now 6 weeks & 2 days old and I've had a couple of smiles from her the last few days, you have to work hard for them though lol. My niece is 6 weeks older than DD and I remember when she was 8 weeks she had pretty good head control and also was putting weight on her legs if she was picked up. Parker doesn't do that and her head control is still pretty poor. Could this be attributed to the fact that she was early, do I need to take it in to account as she grows? She still sleeps tons too.
I know babies that are born considerably early have adjusted ages, but not sure with 4 weeks. My son was 3 weeks early and I don't remember him being behind or anything?
I mean it could even be that my niece is just a strong baby and Parker is normal for her age. Just looking for some opinions
