Premature baby boy sitting
My baby boy is premature (32 weeks)
He was treated for LBW , RDS.
He is 10months old now and not sitting on his own.
Does it take time for premature babies to sit and stand when compared other normal babies.

U have to minus 2 months from his actual age for all developmental milestones. If initially neck holding, rolling over etc were on time, then u can wait.
Next Steps
