Please select an answer

Is your baby:

  • finding it difficult to breathe,
  • making a grunting noise with each breath,
  • turning blue or pale around the fingernails, toes or lips,
  • completely floppy, like a rag doll, or
  • crying with a high-pitched cry that is completely different from normal?
