- Difficulty breathing
- Bluish discoloration of the skin
- Passing out or seizures

If your baby becomes blue (cyanotic), immediately place your child on his or her side and pull the knees up to the chest. This helps increase blood flow to the lungs. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
