Thank you so much for the quick advice!!! Negative on the cleft palette.
I gave lil guy some water with a touch/tiny tiny bit of salt. I dont have lactated ringer on hand. He pepped up.
I turned off the heating pad.........and put a warm bottle beside him. He is still sluggish but doing better. Good advice.....the heating pad was to much and to drying. Thank you! He is dehydrated. I checked his skin........poor turgor.
Mommy is taking care of him for urination. She really is trying to help him.
I gave the antibiotic and will not give it anymore. I have yogurt and will give a bit tommorrow to lil man. The antibiotic I think is to strong.
What great nursing/Er care you have for these babies. Its well recieved and implemented.
I will keep you posted.
Thank God for you.
