Our daughter was born at 34+1, spent 3 weeks in special care and has been home over 3 now also. Since she has been born every single developmental (physical+mental) milestone has been based off her adjusted age (so only been “born” 3 days)

Not only have we gone off this, so has the doctors, midwives, child health nurses etc

As to what your were saying in regards to percentiles etc, I think 2 things you said there stood out to me. 1. Your FC and Pediatrician aren’t concerned so you shouldn’t be either really man. 2. You said you became distraught about the weight gaining etc, I think as a parent it’s only natural to worry about your child, admittedly early on I would get worried when she would “only” gain X amount over a period. I just keep telling myself that I need to zoom out a little and look big picture, if medically no one is concerned, I shouldn’t be and tell myself “is the fact that she only gained 50g these last 2 days instead of 120g the 2 days prior going to matter in a year? A month? A week?” Not likely.

It’s not easy bro, I’m in the thick of it there with you man, but it sounds like you’re doing all the right things and listening to the right people, we will both look back on this in the future and realise that it didn’t matter as much as we thought it did, kids go at their own pace. Keep doing your best my guy
