Hi, I'm new to this board and don't know why I hadn't thought to drop by sooner. I had my son at 34 weeks and he's now 9 weeks old. I'm wondering what i should be expecting in terms of his development...Do I follow his adjusted age for everything? Should I be looking at his sleep patterns and expecting him to still be sleeping more like a 3 week old rather than a 9 weeker? He also still likes to be held a lot and doesn't spend a lot of awake time on his own (like in a swing, on the mat for tummy time, etc.) He hasn't had any major health issues and was only in the nicu for a week for jaundice. I think he was 5 lb 10 oz at birth. So what do you think? Any chance I'll be getting a restful night of sleep any time soon?

Re: New to the board! and i have a question
Hi Shadowboxerkd! PP gas your question covered I just recognized your siggie from another board - maybe SAIF? Didn't realize you'd had your son early. Sounds like he is doing well. Congratulations on his arrival!
