rule out- 1]What is the room temp? Baby needs 30 degreee cels near its skin.use room heaters,sweaters,means to keep warm.
2]hypoglycaemia..is the baby adequatly fed?is it accepting feeds?No? why not?thrush in mouth?treat it.If new born is not sucking well, always treat it as very serious for the baby.Find out the cause.
3]infection..septaecemia-germs all over body through blood-needs imm attention & medical treatment
cold babies will start looking dusky, the pink colour is lost ...????are you already late?
