concerns

Preschool will help with development skills. My son born at 27 weeks wasn't talking till right before he turned 4. Everything has been on his time table to do stuff. Think he was 18 to 20 months and crawling, walking was soonish after. It will come

thank you i really appreciate this

My son walked @ 20 months. He was born @ 34 weeks. I had him in pt, st, dt & all the therapy has helped a bunch. Hang in there mama

your welcome, physical therapy and occupational therapy help also but same time from what I learned with my preemie was its all when they are ready. Everytime he learns something new that we wanted him to have sooner was just when he was ready. So now I'm trying to not push some things more like potty training because he will go when ready. And he is starting to tell us so

he is in occupational therapy and pt alot right now i got him going every other week

k just give time then. It sucks and feels bad as you see other kids and read and hear stuff but he will get there

its just i feel bad as parent when i feel like i cant understand his needs and wants

yep I understand. Have you tried sign language or making up your own signs

maybe seek some advice and get prepared just incase they are all so different. give miss rachel ago on youtube that helped my son loads with sign language and talking. and just keep practicing with his walking. x

I believe you are an excellent parent for anticipating his needs & always knowing what he needs are. It’s hard when they can’t communicate to tell you but I’ve had to do, & still, do this same thing. A very good daily routine has helped a ton for us. & I agree that delays will be met on his timeline, but I’ve found the therapies has helped teach me how to interact most effectively with my son. I wasn’t sure how to best utilize my time with him & with me learning from the therapists has helped me 7 days a week, instead of that one hour a week with therapist. Narrate everything you do & words will slowly start to emerge, on his time :)

they told me this in therapy just this week because he doesnt yet focus really good

My son is 3 and still won’t walk I wish he would and he still not talk yet which makes me feel like a failure sometimes but then I gotta remember preemie are different from regular baby’s and I just had another preemie baby back in June

me as well my daughter was born at 34 weeks and it is so hard because she is meeting milestones that took my son a yr to get to

I had my son at 25weeks and my 3 yr old at 27weeks
