Hi,
So my son was born at 32 weeks, it will be 8 weeks this week since he was born. His due date was on Friday just gone.
Health visitor came out on Thursday last week and she said she's not happy because when she pulls him up by his arms his head is lagging behind. She said a he's a 7 week old baby and that shouldn't be happening. I told her he was premature so with his corrected age he isn't anywhere near 7 weeks old as we are only just at his due date. She then said that is irrelevant and he should still be doing everything a 7 week old baby would do and she would be expecting him to start smiling any time now too. She is coming back in 4 weeks and said she will refer him to the paediatrics then. He is already under the paediatrics anyways and has an appointment booked in a few weeks time.
Surely she is wrong though? Because when he left neonatal they said not to expect the milestones using dates he was born but instead use the corrected age?
