@bunnysmom - welcome back. Quick question - I seem to recall you voicing some concerns earlier about the bunny possibly needing developmental assistance due to the early birth - did that not turn out to be the case ? I may be getting you mixed up with another poster but I thought that may have been the reason you were hesitant to move closer to family (out of the country). Am I crossing postings here?

You have the right person. He was in physical and occupational therapy while in St. Louis. We got some guidance from his therapists on what to focus on. While he is not getting any therapy in Turkey, I think being with family all day long and having their full attention is helping him more than being here and in a daycare where he doesn't get much attention. He still has not caught up to his actual age but preemies apparently typically catch up around age 2. I have no doubt he will catch up at some point. He has no issues understanding and he is very smart, not saying that because he is my son but he really is very smart (takes after momma ). The only 2 issues right now are he still is not walking on his own and he doesn't have much of an appetite. He really wants to walk and be independent so I think he will be walking soon. His eating... hopefully will get better but at least he is not throwing up 2-3 times a day like he was before.

Well, I'm glad he's making good progress. When you speak of "catching up to his age" do you refer to his actual birth age, or the age he would have been if born on full-term due date? I've always wondered how that is measured for preemies...
For example, if someone is born three months early do you compare them with 9 mo on their 1 yr birthday or 12 mo, am I asking this correctly?

Until age 2 you correct his age. So my son's actual age is 19.5 months but his corrected age is 16 months. And when they compare his skills, they compare him to other 16 month olds. But when he reaches 2 years old, he will no longer have a corrected age and will be compared based on when he was actually born.
