When did your preemie first smile?

[ButtonJessie]

Hi Girls,

I was wondering, do milestones like smiling etc tend to go by actual or corrected age?

My daughter was only 5 weeks premature, but I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect as far as these very early milestones go.

Obviously I know that every baby is different, so I thought maybe the best way to get an idea would be to ask; when did YOUR preemie first smile?

My 35 weekers smiled at about 10 weeks, so 5 corrected. My 33 weeker smiled slightly earlier tho. All babies are different but generally your 35 weeker will be caught up by 1
