Question 8

Should you use corrected ages when assessing milestones in premature kids?

Answer 8

Partly, yes.

The corrected gestational age is taken into consideration when looking at milestones until the age of 2.

Question 9

How do you calculate the corrected gestational age for a premature baby?

Answer 9

the age minus the number of weeks he/she was born early from 40 weeks
e.g. a baby born prematurely at 32 weeks, when should they smile?
6-8 weeks is the normal age when a child should show a responsive smile. The reference age of the corrected age is 40 weeks. In this case the baby was born at 32 weeks gestation which means 8 weeks have to be backdated. So 14-16 weeks is the answer.
