HOW OLD IS MY PREEMIE BABY?

IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A STRONG FAMILY SUPPORT STRUCTURE, AS THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT AND STRESSFUL PERIOD.

Your baby’s chronological or birth age is counted from the day on which she was born. Her “adjusted age” is her birth date minus the number of weeks or months she was born premature, so if your baby is six months old, but was born two months early, her adjusted age is four months.
