nicu nurses && doctors told me my daughter was going to be wayyy behind children around her age but she's now 1 and have been doing things children her age can't even do yet , so there not always right

my son was 4 month premature and since he was intubated for so long he really couldn't do tummy time he will be 9 month tommorrow and he can only hold his head when ur hold him we try tummy time but it's hard with his trach

My baby is a preemie and she been holding her head since she was 1 month old. I wouldn't really go with what the doctor be saying cuz a preemie can still do things as a full term baby they just came early

@mamesey, that makes me feel better :)

LOL didn't realize 😂😂😂 yeah preemies aren't always behind! He's probably gonna be just around the same as full term babies :)

@mamesey, I'm the previous commenter lol but my baby is preemie and my doctor said he would be slower than full term babies born around his birthday but he's already trying to get full control of his head. @keepingupwithhenry so Rocky's right on track with full term babies :)

Mine was able to shortly since birth. Like the previous commenter said, she would lay on my tummy and hold her head up and look around

Yes, they don't want to miss anything!

@keepingupwithhenry,

Well did they try to move it around at a few weeks old? When I'm burping Rocky, he turns his head and looks at me or he'll look the other direction and when he's laying on my chest he holds his head up and looks around and then drops his head but for the most part he's fighting to keep it up instead of just laying on my chest. He's only three weeks old and a few days.

Mine did at few months old
