    Non-organic failure to thrive, also known as psychosocial failure to thrive, occurs in infants under 2 years old with no medical cause for poor growth. Up to 80% of cases have no organic disorder. Causes include nutritional deprivation, emotional or maternal withdrawal, neglect, or lack of parental knowledge. Assessment involves measuring height, weight, head circumference and evaluating caloric intake, signs of neglect, and developmental delays. Clinical manifestations are no weight gain, poor muscle tone, developmental delays, and irritability. Nursing management focuses on improving nutrition and intake, developmental stimulation, monitoring elimination, teaching parenting skills, and addressing the psychosocial factors contributing to the condition.
