Whistling when sleeping (newborn)

[Cardiffclare88]

DD is 4 weeks, feeding well. Doing less poos lately but plenty of wet nappies. Since last night she's been doing a bit of a sort of whistlling squeaking noise whilst sleeping. Doesn't seem to have any other signs of sickness and bright when awake. Not sure from NHS website whether this might be broncolitis? If it were I reckon she'd have the noises whilst awake as well? Hopefully just normal newborn breathhing squeaks?

Bump? Been a couple days, she’s still making this noise-only whilst breathing out and sleeping. Not all of the time whilst sleeping though?

One of mine did this. He was also an extraordinary snorer at times! He grew out of both. But if you are worried you should run it by the GP or midwife.

Thanks, @Wildcherryblossom. mine hasn’t started snoring yet but I did wonder whether it might be some sort of apnoea..will ring Gp for advice when the surgery opens Mon Cxx

Hard snot in their nose restricting airflow? That's what it usually was with mine

Thank you @pastabest, if it’s snot, how do I get it out? Don’t see anything when I look up ther

You can get little snot suction devices quite cheaply at most chemists. A bit like a pipette that sucks snot out 🤢. I tried them and never had much luck extracting anything but plenty of parents swear by them.

Apnoea means ‘not breathing’ not ‘noisy breathing’.

If you’re worried it’s probably worth taking a video of your daughter sleeping to show either to your midwife/GP.
