Adjusted age question

How accurate do you find milestones STTN, the wonder weeks, smiling for the first time, etc matching up with LO's adjusted age? Our 35 weekers are almost 8 weeks, and while I don't think they are quite where a full term 8 week old baby would be, I don't feel like they can compare to a 3 week old baby either. Hope that makes sense!

    With late term preemies, you usually set them catch up faster. Since you irls were only 2 weeks shy of term (37 weeks), they will likely do most things closer to their actual age but you should adjust before you worry about them not meeting milestones.

    Strangely enough we had one kid who was on point with adjusted and one who was on point with actual - it really depended (they were 31w1d).  We followed Wonder Weeks, and the one and one was true for their tough periods, too.

    Mine were on track with adjusted ages since they were 12 weeks premature.  I think like the others said yours might fall somewhere in between and catch up faster since they were later term preemies.  My sister has 36 weekers who were a little be
