Narrative:
A passenger seated in row X rang her call button -- her baby was not breathing. After looking at him, listening and feeling the baby, I turned the baby over and gave 2 back blows. I asked the mother to sweep mouth (my hands were filthy). The mother said 'he's turning blue.' I gave 2 full breaths and checked for a pulse. The baby had a strong pulse, but was not breathing. A doctor appeared after being paged, and cared for the passenger and recommended hospitalization. We landed 20 mins later at msy.
