The kid might have Russell Silver Syndrome? It causes very low birth weight, failure to grow, and feeding problems. It can have a genetic component but it looks like not all cases are detected in genetic tests, so the cause is partly unknown. Not sure if you still have the post or if it's worth commenting on it to let the mom know.
I spent a while trying to look up key words, but the blog I quoted is a repost of someone else's blog to begin with, and I couldn't track down who originally made the post. I left a comment under the repost. Hopefully, someone who knows can pass it on?

Thanks for letting me know, though!
