ER NOW!: If your baby is breathing fast and appearing to be tiring out, you need to get to an Emergency Room now. Infant could have pneumonia, sepsis, Covid, and if looking tired could stop breathing at any time if tires out. Get child evaluated immediately and before things worsen anymore. Turn off computer and head to nearest ER right away.

Viral/Bacterial: Your infant may have a viral or bacterial illness, including Influenza, COVID 19 or a Strep infection. Continue to feed the baby with usual formula, and please see the Emergency Department. If the baby is 6 months of age or older, she/he will need a flu vaccination.
