Ds was two weeks early so not premature and def counted as term but hv said might have effect on early milestones. Love hv but she's said some bonkers things (babies can see spirits on the ceiling?...) so wanted to see if this sounded right? Seeing gp for six week check next Tuesday by which point ds will be six weeks four days old and he's so far making eye contact few times a day for few seconds but only smiling in sleep, much more interested in lights etc. Worried gp will say he's behind - was v nervous in pregnancy and worried this may have harmed him somehow ... He has bad colic too so rarely comfy and relaxed when awake so poor thing not had much chance to smile, at what stage would one worry and what would the next steps be? Thank you!
