Is it normal to feel a bit sad or envious of babies the same age and younger reaching milestones? But your baby isn’t doing any of them yet?

As much as we all tell each other every baby is different of course we sit there thinking my LO was born before yours and not even close to doing that. I personally feel it’s like a protective thing. I do it constantly but have to think about the fact that my LB was 12 weeks early and he’s only a small baby still. So I’m just proud of how he’s doing considering what he went through. But I still see babies around his due date doing more and it can make me a little sad and I think it’s perfectly normal to think that. As long as you don’t let it overpower you. Does your baby interact with other babies, have older siblings to copy off? I feel in the three weeks my LB has been at nursery with a few older babies he’s doing miles more things than he was beforehand.
Yes I think those feelings are normal 🙏🏼 it’s hard if you’re an action-oriented type of person and everyone just tells you to wait. I found that Kinactive kids on IG has some great exercises for babies (I didn’t buy her program just used her free content) and I can’t really say if it made my baby hit milestones any faster than she would have but it made me feel more empowered to be taking action
