Baby A was born at 42.5 wks gestation at 6 lb 6 oz--a lower than average birthweight for that length of gestation. He exhibits more than usual difficulty in accepting and learning to breastfeed. He has failed four hearing exams. Mostly, he is unusual in his feeding behaviors and I wonder if anyone has noted this in relation to the other two descriptors: somewhat small for gestational age and failing multiple hearing exams--possibly hearing impaired.
