Secondary Outcome Measures

An infant's weight will be obtained with a scale measuring mass to the nearest ounce, a recumbent length will be used where the infant will be lying down on a flat surface and measurement taken from the top of the infant's head to heel and measured in inches. A z score will be computed for the infant's weight-for-length plotted over time. Categories will be created according to CDC age/sex-specific growth charts, normal (5th through 84th percentile) versus not normal (either below 5th or above 85th or higher of weight-for-length)[At baseline, 6, and 12 months]
