In present study, be 40%. Mothers anemia high 32.2% act as most prevalent antenatal factor cases. By performing student “t” test associated factors without factors, results highly significant p<0.001. Conclusion: Delayed should taken early hint might develop neurodevelopmental problems future. This alert parents family physicians appropriate consultation team doctors address any deviations observed for better outcome.
