Baby may tire when eating and may take longer than expected to finish feeding.  Sudden weight gain or puffiness and swelling of the skinSeen most often around the eyes and in the hands and feet and may be most noticeable when baby first wakes up. The weight gain or puffiness can be caused by fluid retention that is related to poor blood circulation.  SweatingSpecially sewating on the head may notice that baby has damp hair and cool, moist skin.  Fatigue and fussinessBaby may be too tired to play and may sleep most of the time. Fewer wet diapers than expectedAfter the first week, most newborns wet at least 6 diapers in a 24-hour period. May also notice that baby's urine is dark and strong-smelling.  Blue babyBlood flow problems caused by heart defects can mean that baby gets less oxygen. This happens mostly in children who have cyanotic heart defects ("blue babies"). Cyanotic heart defects are abnormal openings between the heart chambers that allow oxygen-poor blood from the right side of the heart to mix with oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart. Defects that do not cause cyanosis (acyanotic heart defects) do not normally interfere with the amount of oxygen or blood that reaches the body's tissues. If a baby has trouble getting oxygen, the baby may have symptoms such as:A bluish tint (cyanosis) to the skin, lips, and nail beds. This becomes worse when baby cries or eats.  Slower-than-expected growth and development (with more severe congenital heart defects). Baby may weigh less, be shorter, and take longer than expected to learn skills such as standing and walking.  Symptoms usually go away after the defect is corrected. A congenital heart defect that is repaired at the right time is less likely to permanently affect your child's growth and development. </blockquote>
