UntitledA 2-day-old boy in the newborn nursery was born at 39 weeks gestation to a 38-year-old woman by vaginal delivery. The mother received epidural fentanyl for severe painful contractions during labor, but the delivery was uncomplicated. Since birth, the boy has shown little interest in breast or bottle feeding.
