re: Tell about your 3 month old preemies!!

Quoting The Mrs:“ Ohhh boy, I know how you feel about the development thing. But we really shouldn't compare them to full-term ... [snip!] ... do it when they're ready. When you hold him in your arms does he hold his head up? If so, he's right where he's supposed to be.”

yeah hes made alot of improvement in that area in the past couple of weeks...he holds his head up for the most part when im holding him....everyonce in a while he'll sway back but then he'll go right back to holding his head up normally... 

Evan's head gets all wobbly, and sometimes he'll swing himself back and forth. Once he hit my husband in the mouth with his head when he started wobbling it all around. I know what you mean. I'm guessing that's normal because my man does it too.

I dont mean to pry, i was admiring the wodnerful pics.


ANd i saw where you thought you werent giving him enough to eat. My little girl was 9 weeks earl she is 5 mnoths old now, and take 4 ounces every 4 hours. So i think unless he wants more he is getting enough.

o ok...thank u!  

kylie will be 3 months on 5-8...she is 12 weeks and 1day..
born at 33wks and 6days...stayed in NICU for 2 weeks exactly is already rolling over, giggling, smiling, cooing, holding head up extremely well also...trying to sit up for a few seconds at a time...(i have pics!!!)

edit/....sorry its fuzzy

she was born 2 months early weighing 4 pounds 8 oz... she is now almost 5 months 11 pounds eating 6oz and started solids..... loves to laugh and play can sit with just little help. she cant roll over yet from back to stomach but close. learning new things everyday wears 0-3 month clothes

my daughter ws born 3 months early weighing in at 2 lbs 1 ounce when she finally came home she came home weighing 5 lbs 3 ounces, my daughter also eats only 3 ounces every 3 to 4 hours, she also spits up alot, i mean alot! i went to doc three times finally on the third visit she was given xantac twice daily, but blood worl was ordered a second time cause her keytone levels are low, im worried cause i dont know what keytone means  but your baby boy looks happy and healthy , if truly worried just call doc  and keep an extra eye on him. hope all works well keep us posted

Hi I'm Angelina. My daughter was born 3 weeks early and weighed in at 5 lbs 7 oz. She is now 12 weeks old. Shew was in the nicu for a week an a half. She eats 4-5 oz every 2-3 hrs. Last week she weighed in at 10 lb 4 oz. Shes just now starting to babble and and smile. no laughing yet. [is this odd shes just now starting to do these things] shes flipped over on her own at 7 weeks old and lifted her head the day after she was born. she cant hold her head up when laying down yet, but she can pick it up for a lil bit while laying. she can hold up her own head when sitting. Im concerned shes slower then most kids with development. in your opinion, do you think shes where she should be?
