When did your preemie hit various milestones? I know they say that most milestones are hit based on full term gestation.
Did your preemie hit their milestones early or late, based on adjusted age? And how early of a preemie were they?

My twins were 6 weeks early. My dr and I are going off of their adjusted age for milestones. So far no concerns of delays (or at least too early to tell). One twin is about a few weeks to a month ahead of the other but both are within normal. I was concerned about my daughter being a bit behind but the Dr and OT therapist said she's within normal. There are things she does better than my son and I take it as they both have different strengths and weaknesses.

I used adjusted age and everything was pretty close. (Born at 25 weeks.) Walking was at 18 1/2 adjusted which starting to get a little concerning...but then he did it! He's on time or ahead for verbal/communication type stuff and at the very low end for gross motor. We did OT for the first year for feeding primarily since we had lots of feeding issues. But we graduated and everything has been great since!

LO was 6 weeks early. He was definitely hitting his early milestones (smiles, rolls, etc.) closer to his due date, if not even beyond that. I remember his smiles took forever, and that made me so sad at the time. Once he hit about 6 or 8 months, I think he was very close to hitting them based on his actual birthday. Now, at 20 months I would say he is ahead for verbal/communication and gross motor and very much average for the others, taking into account that every kid is different.

7 weeks early, and I think about right for adjusted age. I try not to pay too much attention as long as she's clearly progressing, because it freaks me out.

10 weeks early. Tended to hit in line with adjusted age.
