The Malnourished Newborn

WALTER PICK M.D.

The article "Growth and Development of Twins of Dissimilar Size at Birth" by S. G. Babson et al., in the March issue of Pediatrics (33:327) was thought provoking.

The authors point out that there is uncertainty among investigators as to the outcome of malnourished but not grossly malformed infants. Some investigators report that infants who weigh less than 5 lb but are not premature, are indistinguishable from normal babies by the time they are 4 to 6 months old.
