Relationship between the premature infant and caregiver Many researchers of prematurity have looked at the relationship between the infant and her caregiver and the effect of prematurity on that relationship.

Behavioural risk factors for premature infant
It has been observed since 1964 (Drillien) that VLBW infants are at risk for a range of behavioural difficulties including major and minor psychiatric disorders. Even earlier, Benton (1940) described children born prematurely as restless, easily tired and nervous, which resulted in distractibility and poor concentration.

Effects on infant and parent mental health
Effects on infant and parent mental health As noted previously, there is little evidence available on the effects of disability or delay in an infant on infant mental health.

AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS
AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS In 1943, Leo Kanner first described the triad of features that he named autism: extreme social isolation, severe language abnormalities, and unusual responses to the environment.

Factors that cause developmental delay
Factors that cause developmental delay Developmental delay is when an infant does not meet developmental milestones at an expected age, even with a wide variability of the normal range. Delay may occur in four main areas: motor, fine and gross; language and communication; adaptive/personal and social; and cognitive. Infants who are born with specific syndromes […]

EFFECTS ON PARENTS AND SIBLINGS
EFFECTS ON PARENTS AND SIBLINGS A sense of control in the care of the infant seems to be crucial for the development of the infant–parent relationship.
