Milestones

Hi! My bubs was born at 36weeks - do I expect her to hit certain milestones at her age or her corrected age? I know all babies are different, I've just had a few different opinions on it & it's really confusing me x

My boy was 36weeks too. So far his milestones have been in line with corrected age x

Go by corrected age, my boy was born at 35 weeks and hes hitting all his milestones at corrected age or slightly ahead x

My little one was born at 34 weeks and we noticed that he wasn’t as quick to hit milestones as babies born at the same time as him but this is because technically he wasn’t the same age as them due to being premature. One thing I would say is try not to compare to much as all babies are so so different and if you are genuinely concerned you could talk to your local children’s hub about it xx

Yep I went by corrected age x

Thank you ladies! I'm not worried at all, she's perfect in every way & is doing things at her own pace. Just wasn't sure if corrected age was a 'thing' or not. Thank you for replying 😊

My girl is mostly hitting milestones for her actual age (also 36 weeks) but there is a couple of things she is maybe a little behind on but I’m not worried because there are other babies her age also not hitting them and they weren’t prem. they will all get there in their own time 🤷🏼‍♀️
