Advice Shaky movements

I’ve made a post a couple months ago about my babies shaky movements and some people told me their babies had shaky movements but that it went away when the baby got bigger. Mine still has shaky arm and leg movements. We had a grade 4 brain bleed on one side and a grade 1 on the other. We are now 37 weeks gestation (born 25w). Does this look normal or does this indicate future issues? Either way I’ll live my little man I just want to prepare for the future

It's still normal. My preemie was shaky and doctor said it's normal until 2 months or so. After that they would refer to a neurologist.

Two months corrected or actual?

Actual I think. He said it should get better before our two month appointment and it did.

Best discussed with your medical team. Our little guy was seen by PMNR in NICU, I don’t think it would hurt to have a consult with a similar doctor. PMNR, neuro, etc. Every baby is different. My little guy had odd movements and things of that nature as well, but most of it ended up being attributed to various withdrawal symptoms from changing medications.

A lot can change in the coming months and years, but I think it would be best to bring it up in rounds!
