No, actually selfishness in this case would mean that someone would actually have a chance at survival. If you expend all of your resources to help the child, only to die, or get very sick, then the child would only suffer longer for having been made healthier by taking all the resources, while you either die, or watch the baby die while you are too weak to help it. In all probability, your worldview would kill both individuals. This question's answers aren't so black and white.
