When to Call the Baby's Doctor
When to Call the Baby's Doctor
We have gathered a list of symptoms that new mothers see in their babies.
Essentially, trust your instincts. When there is a symptom that bothers you, contact your doctor. Even small changes in eating, sleeping and crying can be signs of serious problems for newborns.
Call your doctor if your baby has any of the following symptoms:
* No urine in first 24 hours at home
* No bowel movement in the first 48 hours at home
* Trouble breathing, very rapid breathing (more than 60 breaths per minute) or blue lips or finger nails
* Pulling in of the ribs when breathing
* Wheezing, grunting or whistling sounds when breathing
* Rectal temperature above 100.4
