Hello doctors, It's the 4th day that the baby has been delivered,but it is kept in NICU due to mild meconium aspiration syndrome. But baby is observed to have rapid breathing when mild feeding is done,baby has also come of cpap and hfnc oxygen supplements.But just here and there the rapid breathing are there not continuously. As doctors you might have seen so many of these mild meconium aspirated cases .In generally how many days would a newborn requires to come of this. Thank you
