    We've always been told to go by adjusted age with development, until DS1 turned 4 and then they stopped adjusting his age.

    FWIW, DS1 didn't roll until 9 months (birth age) he then crawled at 10 months and 2 weeks later he started to sit, it was just boom boom boom, once he started to realise he could move that was it!

    Also, when she does start to move expect that her weight will taper off too, my boys plateaud and didn't gain much at all between 12-24 months.

    At 6 months birth age, I wouldn't expect her to be doing too much atm, especially given her start in life. Enjoy her while she's little and I totally agree with the when shes ready bit, she's a premmie... they all do it when they are ready Even as they get older.... LOL.... it's always on their terms!

    i probably should be helpful with this but im not all the milestones of different kids blur into one, having said that my latest to start walking was 16 months and they were all atleast sitting and crawling by 10 months, and my earliest 2 were 8 and 10 weeks early at 1.5 kg each

    Serenity, both our DD's were born around 35 weeks. Do you know about delayed development for bubs born at 34+6/35+1?
