Adjusted vs. Actual age
I know that generally we expect our preemies to hit developmental milestones based on their adjusted age. But what about things like sleeping through the night? Growth spurts? Fussy periods? Do you think these are typically on adjusted age too?

Re: Adjusted vs. Actual age
They have been for us, they started SSTN at about 6 weeks adjusted (sometimes waking at 3 just to keep us on our toes). We are not in "4 month wakeful" yet, I suppose we have two months to go before we hit it. Some things we have been in the middle babbling, smiling etc but those are all social developments and they have been out longer so I would expect that. It will be interesting to see where all the milestones eventually fall.
Sorry that wasn't much help, hopefully someone with an older preemie can shed some light!
I wonder about this too.
We had a fussy day a few days ago and I thought "oh, 6 week wakeful, right on schedule." But it passed within a day or so ... so maybe it was just an anomaly?
I hate second guessing everything.
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this question. As soon as I walked away from the computer I thought it was probably a dumb question lol.
