Case Study: Baby Kelly and Family

Baby Kelly was born at thirty-four weeks of gestational age weighing a little over four pounds. His Mom and Dad are in their late thirties. He has a proud 7-year-old brother, Chris, who is in second grade and a 3-year-old sister, Alex, who attends a full day preschool. During his four week hospital stay, the family would visit every evening, with Mom typically at the hospital during the day.

Mom would become frustrated while visiting Kelly in the hospital because he was difficult to soothe. An experienced mother, she was unable to do what she anticipated with Kelly; the rocking, cuddling, and attempts at soothing did not work.
