    Background:

    • Nonorganic failure-to-thrive (NOFT) is a complex condition affecting infant growth.
    • Understanding associated maternal, infant, and environmental factors is crucial for early intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between various factors and the development of NOFT.
    • To identify key variables differentiating infants with NOFT from healthy controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective cohort study design.
    • Inclusion of a randomly selected control group.
    • Analysis of maternal, infant, and environmental variables.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences observed in infant sex distribution between groups.
    • Significant differences noted in the incidence of breastfeeding between groups.
    • Identified key factors associated with NOFT development.

    Conclusions:

    • Infant sex and breastfeeding are significantly associated with nonorganic failure-to-thrive.
    • Findings highlight potential targets for preventative strategies and interventions.
