Hi all

Thanks to you all for your responses.

Lizzie - yes. that's exactly what I thought, that he wasn't being nourished properly in the womb for some reason.  Being delivered itself would have taken its toll on him and I dont think he would have had the energy to even suckle.  As you say it wouldn't happen these days, it would be picked up on scans etc.

Thanks once again everyone for your responses.

It is not failure to thrive, but basically just a floppy,  ill baby. There could have been a myriad causes for this - all sorts of congenital abnormalities, intra-uterine infections, prematurity, and as you say, intra-uterine malnutrition, again from many causes.
