Answer to Question 2

Low-birth-weight babies are those who weigh less than 5.5 pounds at birth. They are at a greater risk for infant mortality. They also tend to do worse in school, given that they may have neurological impairment. They may also suffer from motor development problems, including delays and disabilities. They may have mild to severe learning disabilities as well. Preterm babies, those born before 37 weeks gestation, may also have problems associated with respiratory distress syndrome, which is related to immature lungs, which may lead to problems in cognitive, language, and motor skills. The disabilities that low-birth-weight and preterm babies are often related to the degree of prematurity and the weight at birth, with those being born earliest and those weighing the least having the most problems
