Failure to thrive is weight consistently below the 3rd to 5th percentile for age and sex, progressive decrease in weight to below the 3rd to 5th percentile, or a decrease in the percentile rank of 2 major growth parameters in a short period.

Definition. Failure to thrive (FTT) is used to describe a delay in a child's growth or development. Shortly after birth most infants loose some weight. Organic failure to thrive (OFTT) implies that the organs involved with digestion and absorption of food are malformed or incomplete so the baby cannot digest its food.
