Hi Nidhi, I am sorry to hear, I can understand your worries. Based on your history these are my few guess. Baby after passing motion could have aspirated the motion, this can cause severe breathing problem in the baby. Motion in the lung can increase pressure in the lungs and further increase breathing problem. So , Doctors put the baby on ventilator and advanced machines to reduce the pressure and help baby to recover. These babies are prone for infections, we start antibiotics and anti fungals to safeguard from infection. Do not worry. Trust your doctor. Have patience. The recovery is very slow process. Once she it out of danger, she will recover very fast. Good luck.
