These are examples of the kind of thing you need to contact your doctor about immediately. If you cannot do this, take your baby to local A&E either by car, taxi or if no other transport, call an ambulance. If your baby is breathing more quickly and ''grunting''; breathing slowly, irregularly and with great effort; if your baby appears to be having a fit or is in spasm or turns blue; if your baby seems to be listless, unaware of you and your surroundings; if the fontanelles (soft patches on the head that aren''t covered by bone)are sunken; i the temperature is raised, especially combined with any of the above or a rash. |
