A 4-WEEK-OLD male infant was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of failure to thrive. The child was born at 36 weeks' gestation; his birth weight was 2.88 kg. The antenatal course was uncomplicated, but the stomach was not visualized on routine prenatal ultrasound. The child was described as a "poor feeder" who slept a lot and had to be awakened for feedings.

No respiratory distress, cough, or color change was noted with feedings.

Physical examination demonstrated an alert male infant with 2.59-kg weight (<5th percentile), 48-cm height (<5th percentile), and
