How Much Crying Is Normal In An Infant With Breathing Difficulties?
My grandson is 5 days old. He was born through a c section. He was having problems breathing ent Doctor said he has flaps in the back of his throat obstructing him. He is also has not been able to bottle feed because when he sucks his oxygen level decreases. He also has not cried since he was born. Is not crying a major concern.
