He was breathing fast when brought to the hospital but as per latest update he is recovering and drinking mother's milk too and is also crying properly.

A lot of factors effect the prognosis,but if he's already taking breastfeeds,recovery is excellent. I think 48-72 hours more are required to discharge the baby.
