I want a website or any other source to trace my baby development week by week?

My baby was born 2 weeks early, he is now 8 weeks old.My question is that when I am looking at baby development week by week should I be measuring him as a 8 week old development or 6 week old development? I was wondering, would you like to share your baby's daily routine with me.I am thinking about what he should be doing at this stage.?

While it is considered important that the baby takes birth after normal pregnancy of 40 to 42 weeks, you should not make it a serious concern. If the baby is born normal and is developing with natural signs of development there is not much to worry about. When you trying to figure out the baby development week by week you should consider it as an eight week old baby because the baby was normal like any other baby taking birth at that moment. The time you consider for baby growth and development includes the time since the birth of the baby. There is a rapid change that you will notice during this age with lots addition to his daily activities. Starting months are always crucial as baby tries to learn many activities constantly. I would advise you to spend time with your new baby to understand the pattern of development. Listen to the noises he makes and try to analyse the changes that you witness.It won't take you much time to know what the baby likes best.You can try to get involved in his play and get him some toys he would like playing with.You must make your presence felt to the baby for the early years. Never leave a child unattended. Talking about my child's daily routine its mostly done up sleeping as they really get tired very soon in small ages especially as mentioned by you. Other than this he loves to play a lot with his toys. I Hope you enjoy a great parenting experience. Good luck!
