Newborns nasal congestion

My baby is 11 days old, she arrived very quickly, two hours of active Labour. Right from the beginning the midwives warned she would suffer from excess mucus because of the quick labour. Her nasal passages still seemed blocked and despite using saline spray and a humidifier I'm getting more and more concerned, her breathing is noisy and today I noticed she was mouth breathing which apparently is a big no no! Is there anything else I can do to help? Am I getting concerned too early and it will clear up on its own? I hate to see her struggling to breath, it's very upsetting

A snot sucker?
Is there visible mucus?
