Parental recall of language milestones

[Margaret Fleck]

It may also be worth asking whether parental recall changes if the
parent is pregnant and/or has a small baby.    Memory problems are
common in both cases, and many of the kids in the studies we read are
the right age to have a small sibling or a pregnant mom.

I know parental recall of milestones is used in medical research, but I can't find any research into their accuracy either for motor or language milestones; there seems to be a little on language loss in children with subsequently diagnosed autism but again I can't find any work validating the actual parent report.
