Baby discus are terrible for just falling over and dying, really you should have kept 6 or more to give them a comfort zone and feel secure.

I've known adult discus who have just decided to stop eating and just hang in the water for months before finally dying, no matter what I did (live food, beefheart nothing would tempt them) they just never recovered.

Soz you only mention buying 3 above, I've lost a few before now, but half of it was down to new tank syndrome. Now my tank is over a year old I've not had any problems and my 2 inch babies are growing nicely and feeding well.

sorry to hear about the fry,
I think most discus keepers that have manged to raise the fry, do find there is a certain percentage that just do not grow. I find that fry rolling over generally happens after about 6 weeks. How old were they? good luck with the next batch.
