Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: children born during the first months of the imposition of isolation due to COVID-19 had less interaction with the non-direct family environment. This resulted in a delay in some of the development milestones, although the impact was not very important.

Reviewers´ commentary: this is one of the few studies that have been carried out on the impact of isolation by COVID-19 on those born then. It is a well-designed study, although it would be interesting if their investigations were extended over time to see how long it took these children to recover those developmental milestones.
