Why is this baby failing to thrive?
|
|
A 4-month-old girl arrives at the clinic for a well-child visit. Her mother voices concerns about the infant's poor weight gain, slow feeding habits, and physical delays such as head lag, poor grasp reflex, and rolling over. The mother is in the military and getting ready to be deployed; the father had abandoned her when he learned of the pregnancy. The maternal grandmother plans to care for the infant until the mother returns from her tour of duty.
