Possible conservation-withdrawal reaction in two infants.

S Menahem

    Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics : JDBP
    |December 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two breast-fed infants experienced weight loss despite perceived adequate feeding. Complementary feeding led to rapid weight gain and increased responsiveness, suggesting initial suboptimal intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Neonatal care
    • Infant nutrition

    Background:

    • Breast-feeding is a common infant feeding method.
    • Assessing adequate breast-feeding can be challenging.
    • Suboptimal infant intake may present with subtle signs.

    Observation:

    • Two breast-fed infants presented with significant weight loss.
    • Mothers reported adequate breast-feeding practices.
    • Infants exhibited passive behavior, minimal crying, and excessive sleeping.

    Findings:

    • Rapid weight gain was observed upon introduction of complementary feeding.
    • Infants became more responsive after complementary feeding.
    • The infants were otherwise healthy, with poor weight gain being the primary concern.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring infant weight gain.
    • It suggests a potential need for early nutritional assessment in breast-fed infants.
    • The findings may inform diagnostic considerations for infant lethargy and poor growth.
