It is particularly helpful in addressing the results of a traumatic birth, which often are apparent in babies who cry excessively, sleep poorly, have difficulty with feeding or elimination, or fail to achieve developmental milestones at appropriate times. ``We will address any breast-feeding concerns and provide a place where you can meet other mothers in the same position and discuss related topics, such as growth spurts, developmental milestones and sleep issues,'' McGann said. Developmental scales for very young children fit within this tradition, replacing formal testing where this is impractical, although it should be noted that maternal reports of developmental milestones are subject to numerous sources of error such as inaccurate recall, differing definitions of certain behaviors, and presentational bias (Axelson and Rylander 1984). |
