Infants heart rates are higher than adults by nature. If you notice blueish color around the mouth, fingernails or toe nails you should seek medical care immediately. Infants with heart failure will have a rapid heart rate and vomiting as well as grunting. When in doubt, call the doctor, go to the ER or call 911!
