ohhh it won't let me open this link. I don't have permission. But I might google it. Perhaps it was from a human perspective that I'd heard about this so I'll look into it more. Thanks.

I found this from a human perspective which has a discussion regarding newborns and the issues involved which may be of some interest?

Thanks for your comments.... I just wanted actual research type clarification.... but obviously there isn't any!!! haha! I was told not to use in neonates, but something to do with after respiratory stimulation it the can cause hypoxia??? Something like that..... I just wanted to know if that kinda thing was actually true......

I was told that it is contraindicated in neonates. I think it was due to the way it affects the respiratory action. I was told, it is better to use just oxygen.
