My eldest was born at 35 weeks, weighed 2lb 12oz and was in special care for 3 weeks until she was breast feeding well enough to come home. I had weekly visits from either the health visitor or special care outreach team and I didn't feel it was enough! After 2 weeks at home she was diagnosed with reflux and on medication for that. I found it very reassuring to go to the baby clinic every week once she had her 8 week check (was advised not to take her out before then).
I had never known any other prem babies but I don't think many get taken out much! My little girl was like Corrinne's little girl, perfect but tiny in size. She sat up at 5 mths wearing newborn size clothes and was walking in 6-9mths at 13mths old. She is now a very tall 4 year old and no one can believe it when I tell them how tiny she once was, she has also been the youngest for hitting milestones out of all my daughters by a couple of months.
Good luck with all the little babies! xx
