16 months prem
My baby is 16 months old.he was born at 26 weeks,weight 720g.He started crawling at 14 months.Can I be worried about his development.
Dear Keketso
Premmies may be delayed in their development and this seem quite OK for his age - if corrected. however, it would be a good idea to have him assessed by a early intervention specialist (occupational or physio therapist)
Warm regards
