Question
My baby was born prematurely at 35 weeks and is now two months and 10 days old. She still doesn’t chase objects or people. She has received treatment for brain damage associated with preterm birth. What could be the issue?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing slower growth and development due to incomplete organ development resulting from preterm birth. Parents should not worry too much and should engage in more practice and observation. Each child’s growth and development timeline may vary, so it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to ensure complete recovery from brain damage. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
