Baby breathing

The dummy looks a little bit big for his face (could just be the angle). We used MAM 0-2 and haven’t had issues. It’ll just stop the covering over the nostril on the video.

My boy was breathing like this but he’s had constant breathing issues🫠 we think he was born with small nasal passages so might be the same thing?

What kind of labour did you have? Vaginal or c-section? Some babies struggle to clear mucus depending on the kind of birth so they might just need some saline spray. We use Sterimar (can get from chemist, Amazon, boots etc).

If you are worried though speak with your health visitor or community midwive. They’ll be able to advise best 🩷

Red flags to look out for are chest retractions and flaring nostrils with each breath. Obvs can’t see her chest in the video but her nasal breathing seems fine and not strained. If you are worried call 111 for advice. I can’t see any blue around her lips in the video but if you think you can see blue then again, call 111 and ask advice.
Newborns are LOUD and make all sorts of odd noises. I took my LG to A&E at under a week old because I thought her breathing was weird…turns out she was just making normal baby noises 😅
Look up floppy larynx as lots of newborns have this and can making breathing sound strange.
I’m not a medial professional though so please trust your gut and if you are worried call 111 or take her to the GP ❤️
I’m also an anxious mum so completely understand how you’re feeling!
