I wonder if the parents merely noticed that the baby was becoming a "good" baby, the sleepiness and lethargy being perceived positively? Mothers with extremely busy lives and inexperience - ending up being negligent by default. One of my local colleagues, Janette Tyler, has a fine presentation based on case histories on this sort of situation, and presented it at ILCA in Sydney in 2003.

The question is what eactly is going on in a family where this
happens and no one notices the half-starved looking baby that results.
Imagine: a 5 mth old thriving baby who starts being underfed to this
extent will change his behaviour in some way, perhaps by
crying/whimpering/yelling more than usual. As the starvation
progresses, he will become sleepier and of course a lot skinnier.
And no one notices?
