Dr. Sarosh Batlivala answered

Specializes in Pediatric Cardiology

Color, Breathing: Signs of circulation include good color (i.e. "pink" or rosy as opposed to blue, grey, or dusky appearance). The baby should also be breathing easily and active. But i would strongly recommend you immediately call 911 and take your child to the nearest er or pediatrician's office if you have to give rescue breaths.
