Child Abuse or Parent Abuse?

Child Abuse or Parent Abuse?

A 5-week-old female infant was brought to the office by her parents for fussiness. Physical examination revealed no abnormalities, and the parents were reassured that the child appeared normal. Follow-up phone calls on subsequent days confirmed that the child was doing better. This little girl was born into a loving Vietnamese family by cesarean section. No problems were noted in the immediate postpartum period nor at the 1-week visit.
