They were discharged when they were one month old. Currently, they can only breastfeed for less than two minutes before getting drowsy, then resting for several minutes before being reminded by an adult to weakly eat a few more mouthfuls. This cycle repeats constantly, and they do not actively seek out the breast. They appear tired and weak, with unfocused eyes when awake, a lack of concentration, and slightly protruding eyes. Their current weight is only seven and a half pounds.Patient Age: Forty days
