Despite the low proportion of pregnancies resulting in LBW babies expenditures for the care of LBW infants total more than half of the costs incurred for all newborns. In 1988 the cost of a normal healthy delivery averaged 1,900 whereas hospital costs for LBW infants averaged 6,200. The command category of LBW infants includes both those born too early (preterm infants) and those who are born at full call but who are too small a instruct known as intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).
