"God could have said, for instance, 'You can screw, but only to make babies,' especially since at that time there weren't enough people in the world.
Quantifying the risk associated with the deviation from one's predicted birth weight, regardless of the birth weight itself, will strengthen the case for early identification of at-risk babies, especially in circumstances where there is no obvious fetal growth restriction.
Those babies, especially the ones below 28 weeks, are at risk for blindness, cerebral palsy and brain hemorrhages.
Many babies, especially premature ones, have trouble breathing.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — About one of every 43 American infants is physically abused or neglected annually, and those babies are especially at risk in the first week of their lives, health officials said Thursday.
Babies are especially at risk because their skin is thinner, they frequently put their hands in their mouth, and they do not have well developed processes of elimination.
Pregnant women and their babies are especially at risk, as infection is often contracted through non-sterile cutting of the umbilical cord and passed onto the newborn child.
In addition, while all newborns are more vulnerable to life-threatening infection than older infants and children, preterm babies are especially at risk.
For example, a coupon to baby-sit, especially at night, is often a big hit with new parents.
Parenteral administration of vitamin K1 at birth was recommended for newborns especially at risk (preterm babies, babies born with instrumental help or caesarean section, asphyxia or if maternal medication was interfering with coagulation).
