Many factors: A infant's development can be slow for many reasons. If he was born premature or had problems at birth, his development may be delayed. Vision problems can occur with or without other problems of development. If the parents have other concerns, a pediatrician who specializes in behavior and development could examine the baby and discuss options with the parents.
