If the baby is more than 4 months according to the expected date of delivery as given to you at the time of pregnancy, then you should consider a proper developmental follow up.
Health Tips
Every preterm delivered baby should have a developmental follow up at 3 mo, 6mo, 9 mo, 1 yr and last followup at 5 yr of age. In case of difficulties in development noted, visits have to be more frequent and will be suggested by the pediatrician
