Does anyone know if there are rates of failure-to-thrive (as in a certain percentage of babies receive dx ftt or are at risk)?  I'm trying to get together some facts about the number of babies who get into trouble during the first few weeks in particular.

Mary, any such statistics would need to be your baseline data, from records, since this is a *modifiable* outcome - and prevention programs would be a good follow-up.  If you are presenting figures for FTT, I hope you will point out how many of these cases could have been prevented.
