Abstract

Abeba is brought by her mother, Mrs. Owusu, and her grandmother, Mrs. Jalloh, to the clinic for her 2-week visit while Abeba’s father is at work. The grandparents live with the family. Abeba’s birth weight was 2.95 kg (6.5 lb). Upon discharge at 72 h after birth, Abeba weighed 2.7 kg. Her current weight is 2.97 kg. Her length is 46.25 cm (18.5 in.). Her head circumference is 32.2 cm (12.8 in.). Abeba is being breastfed. The grandparents immigrated from Ethiopia; the mother was born in the United States. Abeba is their first child. Mrs. Owusu appears very tired and quiet. The grandmother holds the baby and undresses the child for weighing and the physical exam.
