Question 2

It depends on...: Some infants enjoy swaddling and others don't, so obviously do this only if your infant likes it. Even in this case, don't swaddle to tightly and it is unwise after 2-3 months. See http://www.Parenting.Com/article/ask-dr-sears-alternatives-to-baby-swaddling  and

G6PD defeciency: Two possible causes. Exposure to nitrates (rare in infants) or g6pd deficiency which can also cause methemoglobinemia in infants. Baby would need metabolic work-up and a good history of toxin exposures.

Question 10

why would  an infant need cpr?

Accepted Answer

They quit breahing: Although most infants won't have a heart attack or rhythm disturbance that puts them down like adults, they may need cpr. Infants have more respiratory findings leading to problems than adults. They can compensate to a point for pneumonia problems, asthma, etc by breathing harder, but they can wear out, stop breathing & will soon die unless someone helps them get going again.
