In another couple weeks, you could let it go a touch further (maybe verify with your ped/family doctor before you stretch to 5 hours between night feeds though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/actual-age-vs-adjusted-age#post-82366 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:16:03 +0000 BabyBruins 82366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: thank you for answer. When feeding him, can I start to let him go a little longer at night or still wake him up to feed him every 3 hours? He has gained a little over 2 pounds in 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/actual-age-vs-adjusted-age#post-82348 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:17:41 +0000 MsMini 82348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I general, you would use adjusted age to determine if you are missing any milestones. That is only true until 1 year of age, then all babies are considered equal. Also, adjusted age is much more applicable with micro-prems (babies born under 28 weeks gestation or 1200 grams weight), than babies born 32 weeks gestation or older (babies born at 32 weeks or older tend to correct much much sooner). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/actual-age-vs-adjusted-age#post-82347 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:10:02 +0000 BabyBruins 82347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy was born 6 weeks early. When reading books and other new parent guides, I don't know when to think of him like a 2 month old and when to think of him as a 2 week old. He seems much older than his adjusted age, but are there key areas where I really need to look at his adjusted age rather than his actual age? </p>
