First, failure to thrive, in which infants do not progress. Secondly, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is a health risk that the cause remains unknown .however; there are a few risk factors. Third, child abuse is a major issue concerning infants.
First, failure to thrive is a condition in which infants’ weight or weight gain is significantly below other infants within their age range and gender (John Hopkins Children ‘s Center, 2014). Infants with this condition appear dramatically smaller, or shorter than other infants of their age. Infants that fail to thrive have a head circumference, height, and weight that does not match standard growth chart. Their weight falls below three percentile, or 20% below their ideal weight for their height.
Second, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome can be defined as the sudden death of an infant less than one year of age (CDC, 2014). The cause remains unknown after a thorough investigation was conducted. This requires a complete examination of the dead baby. SIDS is the number one cause of death among infants age 1-12 months. Risks are results of sex, age, race, family history, as well as maternal aspects. Boys are more likely to die of SIDS, during the second and third months infants are more
