How well is your preemie baby doing?
My beautiful little preemie girl was 9 weeks premature!
She is now 4 months
but technically 2 months
She started smiling ago a few weeks ago and is slowly starting to support her own head.
She still sleeps most of the time but is awake for an hour or two atleast!
She is now 10 lbs.
Born 3 lbs.

my boy was 13 weeks early and weighted 2pounds and is now 20 months and weights 22 pounds and is running around the place. after a few little hiccups along the road he has finally caught up with his peers and is a perfectly healthy happy child:)

My boys were only 4 wks early but they are 5 and 7 years old now and doing great. My cousins little boys were 8 wks early and they are growing like weeds and doing great too
so great to see premies do so good after all they have to fight for just to stay alive.

Wow, your baby seems to be doing well for how early she was! My daughter was born seven weeks early and was four pounds at birth. She is now nine months and doing great. She has pretty much caught up developmentally. She started crawling last month and she’s now even taking steps while holding our hands. Which I’m pretty proud of since many babies who aren’t preemie can’t even do that at nine months! I’m not sure how much she weighs now since she hasn’t been to the doctor in quite some time but I’m guessing she’s about fifteen to seventeen pounds. She’s amazed us by how quickly she caught up.

My daughter was 6 weeks early. She’s now 1 year old (if she had come on her due date, I guess it would be about 5 weeks until her 1st birthday) <—— born Dec 30, 08.
She was 5 lbs at birth, now 18 lbs and 27 inches.
She’s still pretty small… But I’m also pretty small, so I don’t expect her to ever be a big girl. She learned to walk a bit before her 1st birthday, she’s been saying quite a few words (but she is a mumbler) and is really good with solids.
She sounds like she’s starting to get a cold now, though…
Do all babies get sick this much?
