Please tell me what else text can I ask the hospital to do before my granddaughter is discharged nd it happens on there almost 3 hrs drive back home..
[|AI|]  Hello and Welcome to Ask A Doctor.  I have read your query and here is my advice.  The skin color that you describe on your granddaughter can be very dark on the neck(and head), especially when there has been delay in delivery of the shoulders after the birth of the head.  The coloring disappears spontaneously in a few days.  Brief periods(a few seconds) of not breathing are common in normal full-term infants.  Periods of not breathing for more than 15 second scan happen in normal newborns.  If the hospital felt your baby was stable and healthy, then there are no more tests that need to be done.  Hope I have answered your query.  If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.  Arnold EDD, MD, FLAP
