Mum 'screaming out' for answers after newborn son's lips kept turning blue

When Liane Slawson's son was just four days old his lips looked like they'd turned blue. The mum assumed little Max Dwyer was holding his breath, but as the week went on it kept happening.

When Max was 12 days old she called 111 as one of the incidents lasted longer than usual. He was rushed to hospital where doctors resuscitate him when his lips became "navy blue".

Liane said: "I thought he was in cardiac arrest, there was people everywhere working on him. He was treated for sepsis for a long time but all his bloods were coming back as normal so they went down the reflux route."
