Hi.... this is called meconium aspiration syndrome. Sometimes this can cause stiff lungs and the baby may become oxygen dependent for a very long time also. It all depends upon how well the baby is responding for the treatment.
Usually if the baby is not ventilated then this might get better in one or two weeks.
