Leaps/milestones for 36+6 wker?

Our baby was born recently at 36+6. Almost term but we were still on the pre-term pathways and we’re always being told he will be 3 weeks behind for most things.

Can anyone share their experience of when their (similar term) little one went through their leaps, or did things like smile, coo, laugh etc for the first time? And then head control, roll, sit up?

Just wondering what might be delayed for corrected age vs what might happen sooner!

You are going to drive yourself bonkers trying to follow milestones this closely. There's such a wide range of "normal". Unless they are basically double the normal milestone plus a couple of weeks then I wouldn't even start to worry. X
