Carolyn,

This baby has a heart problem, whether the doctors can hear a murmur or not.
Have they done an electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound or other heart
studies?  Is the baby well hydrated?  Moist mucus membranes, flat fontanelles?

Underfed babies will turn yellow due to higher concentrations of bilirubin in
the blood.  They don't turn dusky if the heart is pumping.
