Everyone wants 100% live births, but that simply is not possible. If a kid is born non-responsive, there is probably nothing that can be done because, many times, it has been dead for days already. Unfortunately, a lot of people will try to resuscitate a non-responsive kid by doing mouth-to-mouth, which is a terrible idea because you could be exposing yourself to a deadly zoonotic disease, such as toxoplasmosis, campylobacter, q-fever, and more than I talk about in the video.
