Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Concordance of parent-entered developmental data in the app with Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Test III scores at 6 and 12 months.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary Endpoints: Furthermore, an association between socioeconomic factors/the child's circumstances, breastfeeding behavior, and child development will be examined. - Proportion of fully breastfed infants (at discharge, after 4-6 weeks, at 6 months of age. - Correlation between early complementary feeding and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between prematurity and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between hypoglycemia (anamnestic; if blood glucose values were measured as part of clinical routine) and developmental abnormalities - Correlation between hypoglycemic symptoms in the first days of life and developmental abnormalities - Correlation between prematurity and developmental abnormalities - Correlation between socioeconomic status (incl. parents' school-leaving qualifications, occupation, single parenthood, etc.) and child development - Correlation between socioeconomic status (incl. parents' school-leaving qualifications, occupation, single parenthood, etc.) and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between stressful events (e.g. death, separation of parents, etc.) and child development - Correlation between stressful events (e.g. death, separation of parents, etc.) and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between external care and child development - Correlation between external care and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between chronic diseases of parents and breastfeeding behavior - Correlation between chronic diseases of parents and child development Also examined is the validity of the individual questions in the smartphone app and their suitability for future use: - Based on the variance of the answers of individual questions, the suitability of individual questions for future studies is estimated. - The percentage rank of the individual answers is also compared with the percentage rank of the category in which the question is located. Furthermore, the acceptance of the smartphone app, the compliance of the parents	—
