The characteristics of eight mothers of ten infants born with typical features of the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) are presented. These chronic alcoholic mothers have poor obstetric histories, tend to have poor or no prenatal care and may repeat pregnancies which result in infants with FAS. Family planning counseling appears unhelpful.

Skin sloughs and necrosis from hypertonic solutions may occur in premature infants receiving peripheral intravenous fluid therapy. A simple multiple puncture method is proposed to remove the infiltrate and prevent skin sloughs.
