NICU parents experience an extended newborn phase

I just realized that when you have an early arrival baby, you experience a longer than usual newborn phase It’s so crazy when I hear people say that their baby was smiling at 6 weeks, and stopped the witching hour and started playing and holding their head up at 8-10 weeks…. I’m like woah that was like peak crying for my baby 😅My baby is almost 4 months (2.5 adjusted) and he’s no where near rolling over and is still working on holding his head up. He also just recently found out that his hands are his favorite chew toy! LolI’m not upset about any of this, it’s just so interesting having a different experience than full term babies! via /r/NICUParents https://ift.tt/lA5xTem
