Development

The speed at which premature babies develop, may seem somewhat slower than that of a full-term baby. Slower growth and development is normal for twins, so expect your darlings to reach their milestones a little later in life. They will at one point or another catch-up to their peers, with there being little difference between them and their classmates, once they reach school-going age.

Your twins development will not only differ from that of other children, but even from one another, in the case of non-identical twins. Identical twins will most probably develop at the same rate to one another, while non-identical twins, especially those of differing sexes will develop at different rates throughout childhood. In the early stages, one twin may already be walking while the other is still trying to master crawling. Girls often grow more rapidly, with boys only fully catching up, somewhere in adolescence.
