My little boy has this and I rang 111 they sent an ambulance and took us to hospital but all was okay and they said it sounded like normal newborn breathing and sent us home

Our boy started breathing funny at night, i put it down to the muggy weather as he was much better yesterday. Told myself if he got worse or it continued into daytime I'd ring 111 but he's been a lot better since!

So I find that my daughter has this when she is having a comic episode or needs a burp! But always check with a professional when it comes to breathing x

My 2 week old is the exact same !! Mostly after a bottle…

My 4 week old does this. I looked it up and I think it’s to do with their stomach being full

My baby does this too after a feed hes 4 weeks xx

Trust your mama instinct if something doesn’t feel right get it checked out, best to get the reassurance because life as a mama is hard enough (but the most incredible thing) without added worry x

My health visitor said this is pretty normal for them particularly if they're laid flat after a feed. She said newborns can't clear their throat like an adult would if they had a bit of mucous. Of course always get them checked out if you feel like somethings wrong, trust your instinct
