Please use this case study scenario for the following two questions: Emma, 8 months old, was born at 32 weeks gestation with fetal alcohol syndrome disorder and a heart murmur due to maternal alcohol abuse. She has lived with a foster mother, who would like to adopt her, since she was 2 months old. Emma has had multiple complications from her premature birth (e.g., needing to be tube fed via nasogastric tube for the first eight weeks of life) that have necessitated the use of tubes in her nose and throat. This has resulted in an aversion to having anything placed in her mouth including a feeding tube or a spoon. Emma has been fed regular infant formula through a gastrostomy tube since she was 2 months old. Her current weight is 15 pounds 5 ounces and her length is 26 inches. Emma’s mother is looking forward to starting solid foods with Emma this week per her pediatrician’s advice. Why would Emma’s physician want to delay the introduction of solid foods until she is 8 months old?
