Breathing problem in neonate
My baby boy was born at 36weeks 3days by C-section due to intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. After 1-2 hours of birth he developed grunting because of which he was kept on oxygen for 1 day and then he was doing good without oxygen for 2 days. But 4 days after birth he again developed one episode of drop in oxygen saturation to 30-40% after feeding which resolved by giving him oxygen again. What is the problem?
