Hai... You need not worry if his weight is good & he's not having fast breathing. Is there amy noisy breathing since birth. I need more information on Hus birth weight & current weight. I would love to see a video of what you describe. It could be s congenital airway anamoly too. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
