Help!! I’m confused

Alexis

So my son was born 6 weeks early. He‘ll be 2 months old on the 8th. However, technically by his actual due date he’s only 2 weeks old. He was due Dec. 15th

Should I be treating him as a 2 month old or a 2 week old considering milestones and his behaviors, etc.??

It’s at your discretion. My son was born 5 weeks early and for the most part only took a few months to start acting his actual age. In some ways he acted as his adjusted age, but now he’s 7 months old (almost 6m adjusted) and he’s sitting on his own, and even pulling up to stand (which isn’t something normal babies do until 8-10m). He’s well surpassed his adjusted age developmentally.

Usually, you would be doing adjusted milestones until they're 2-years-old.
