Moderately premature birth. Use corrected age for developmental assessments until 12-18 months.
- Smiling: 2-3 months corrected
- Rolling over: 4-5 months corrected
- Sitting: 6-7 months corrected
- Crawling: 7-9 months corrected
- Walking: 11-14 months corrected
- Use corrected age for milestones
- Regular pediatric checkups
- Monitor feeding and growth
- Encourage tummy time
- May catch up by 12-18 months
- Monitor for feeding difficulties
- Watch for developmental concerns
Corrected age, also known as adjusted age, is essential for properly assessing the development and growth of premature babies. When a baby is born early, their chronological age (time since birth) doesn't accurately reflect their developmental stage.
By calculating corrected age based on the original due date, parents and healthcare providers can set appropriate expectations for developmental milestones, feeding schedules, and growth patterns. This helps ensure premature babies are evaluated fairly and receive appropriate care.
Key Benefits:
- Accurate developmental assessments
- Realistic milestone expectations
- Appropriate feeding guidance
- Reduced parental anxiety

Use corrected age for milestone tracking and assessments
Scenario:
Baby born 6 weeks early, now 4 months old chronologically
This baby should be evaluated based on their 2.5-month corrected age, not their 4-month chronological age, for developmental milestones.
