I had to start a new thread on this, prompted by the thread on Milestones, and in particular Mrzzy's post on premature twins. This is not really a milestone, but I thought you might find it interesting.
My grandson, Devon, was also born prematurely, and my daughter lived with us at the time. He had to spend a month in the hospital to stabilize, and when we got him home, he was very fussy, what with having to wear oxygen, a heart monitor etc.

Damndest thing: When he was crying for no apparant reason, (food, diapers etc taken care of), the ONLY thing which would calm him EVERY TIME, was to play tapes of Kate Wolf songs. My daughter's singing wouldn't do it. My singing wouldn't do it. We never found any other recorded music that could soothe this very fussy child. Something about Kate Wolf did it every time! Must have been a resonant frequency or something.

Devon is now four years old, and quickly recovered from being a "premie". He looks like a little halfback now, stout but lean. His mind is unfathonable, as are most four year olds. Loves to take things apart. My daughter, Kristine, (Devon's Aunt!), will turn four on Monday. They are like brother and sister, though we now live apart. Same blond hair, people really do take them as bro & sis. Kids are so great. Mbo, you ought to try it! Thanks, BlueJay
