Premmie milestones

[debz]

My little girl was 4 weeks prem.

She is now 6 months and seems to make milestones a lot later than others in our mums group.

I wasn't worried, but now some twins a month younger than her are rolling both ways and she only goes from belly to back.

Its so frustrating and I try so hard not to worry. She is also quiet and reserved with other people and would rather watch other bubs than wrestle with them.

I think I am paranoid.

Hey

I wouldn't worry to much you bub will do things at her own pace. Every baby does things at a different time. I wouldn't worry about the rolling anyways, as my friends nephew is now 7.5 mths, and only rolled over for the first time at 6.5mths, and he was a full term baby, he's only now sitting, where as my bub is 7mths and is rolling both ways, crawling, sitting and pulling up to standing. So you can see it is very different, with each baby.

With the prem thing, my baby sister who is now 20mths, was prem, and she did everything quite late, she didn't sit until she was 8mths, crawled at 1year, and walked at 18mths. So prem baby's take more time to do things.


She is also quiet and reserved with other people and would rather watch other bubs than wrestle with them.

My bub is exactly the same, she doesn't like to be held by others, and she'd rather just watch other baby's play. Personally I think thats just her personality, and when she grows up a bit she'll like to play with others as she's still quite young.


Well I hope this has helped you a little bit. Just don't worry to much about it, just let her go at her own pace. You could always ask your CHN if you are still worried about it.
