Underfeeding of newborn

What This Code Means

A newborn is not receiving enough food or nutrition, either due to inadequate feeding attempts, poor intake, or insufficient breast milk or formula supply.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the reason for underfeeding (maternal factors, infant factors, access issues) to support the diagnosis
  • •Monitor weight gain and growth parameters; this condition requires intervention to prevent failure to thrive
