In fact, he was due in October and came in August, which got him in school a year earlier. He's ahead of most the kids in his class, even though he's the youngest and was a preemie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-came-early-do-you-still-see-a-difference-in-their-development#post-1904602 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:13:24 +0000 lamariniere 1904602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was only 3 weeks early. However, for the first 6 months she hit all of her milestones more slowly (but within healthy ranges) than DS. Not sure if it is due to being a bit early or if it was just her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-came-early-do-you-still-see-a-difference-in-their-development#post-1904496 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 22:07:08 +0000 mrbee 1904496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive came 5 weeks early which is just shy of being premature, and I think it's still affecting her three years later! She had a sensory issue, and it caused a significant delay in her development. She's catching up, thanks to EI and sensory therapy.</p> <p>We love her and wouldn't change a thing! But I have been surprised at how many symptoms she's shown that were predicted given her somewhat premature status.</p> <p>If your baby came early, do you still see a difference in their development? </p>
