there are several possibilities, first is that the baby developed an allergic reaction to cows milk. newborns are not supposed to be fed with cows milk. he should be fed with formula milk if breast milk is not available . if both formula milk and breast milk are not available , cows milk can be used with extreme caution and after adding sterilized water ( one liter of water is added to each one liter of cows milk)
the second possibility is that the baby aspirated amniotic fluid during the delivery leading to aspiration pneumonia and pulmonary edema
