Developmental pathways in infants from 4 to 24  months

ConclusionThe results suggest that infants with low gestational age, low Apgar score, male sex and a mother with depression symptoms or non‐Scandinavian ethnicity may be at risk of developing less beneficial developmental pathways, especially within the communication area. Targeting these infants for surveillance and support might be protective against delayed development in several areas during a critical window of development.
