|---|---|

| Locomotor skills | 1.77 (−4.15 to 7.69) |
| Hearing and speech | 10.68*** (5.92 to 15.44) |

| Body mass index | −0.24 (−0.64 to 0.16) |
| Mothers: | |
| Knowledge of childrearing | 7.57*** (5.74 to 9.40) |
| Childrearing practices | 5.00** (1.59 to 8.41) |
Developmental measures adjusted for clinic, child's age, initial score, tester effect, father living with child, and mother's education. Anthropometric measurements adjusted for clinic, child's age, child's sex, initial score, tester effect, father living with child, and mother's education. Maternal measures adjusted for clinic, initial score, tester effect, father living with child, and mother's education.
