He was probably starved in the uterus. Nowadays, with scans etc. mums are delivered early if the fetus is not growing (what is called intra uterine growth retardation) and the baby is then taken to Special Care Baby Unit until well enough to go home. That wouldn't have happened in 1914 and the baby would have either been born prem and very small, or full term and very small.
Don't blame your grandparents, it can happen even when the mother is well fed etc. it is just that the placenta wasn't working properly for some reason.

Hi Busybod,
Here is a link to a Google book:-
http://www.rootschat.com/links/07cx/
It seems to imply that inanition is a now largely forgotten term used in the early 1900s to describe a fever of the newborn caused by dehydration in breast fed babies.

Probably someone will be along with a better answer than this but I my guess would be that 'Inanition' is/was specific to new-born babies whereas 'failure to thrive' would relate to babies and toddlers beyond the neonatal stage - more of a failure to put on weight at a satisfactory rate for which there could be many reasons.

It is not failure to thrive, but basically just a floppy, ill baby. There could have been a myriad causes for this - all sorts of congenital abnormalities, intra-uterine infections, prematurity, and as you say, intra-uterine malnutrition, again from many causes.
