Is this normal preemie behaviour or could there be something wrong?

I agree! Yes this baby was born early but (within reason) they should be treated like all the others! My SIL is pretty bad though, all I hear is "oh I haven't tried that because he's a preemie" I was worried because he's a Preemie" I finally said DUDE, you're kid is huge, healthy and doing everything according to his age. Stop holding him back! She agreed...just no one had ever put it that way to her, even the Dr babied him KWIM?

Totally, doctors stop counting ages as 'adjusted' at their second birthday. Let the child be the guide by labeling him and limiting him no one is doing this kid any favors

Good to know this is a rule of thumb for doctors, because I thought the parents were just making excuses for all the things their child does to make me nuts! LOL!
