Know the signs of respiratory distress in your little ones. ‼ Shown here are RETRACTIONS (sucking in between the ribs with each breath) and mild head-bobbing. Other signs of respiratory distress include breathing very fast, turning blue, or flaring out the nostrils to breathe. This sweet baby girl was diagnosed with RSV and spent 10 days in the hospital on oxygen. Parental permission to share was granted (as always).
