mine does too,

she was mucassy at first, but i think shes got a cold and is blocked up. shes not snotty, just blocked and snorty.

ive bought saline drops for her nose for before feeds so she can breathe better whilst drinking.

My sisters 11 week old does this he is fine otherwise although he always seems to have a blocked nose ,but he just snorts and grunts all the time.

I found putting a few drops of breast milk in my little one's nose rather than saline drops a bit nicer as they don't get the yucky taste in the back of their throat - my midwife advised it.

DD grunted constantly, enough to keep me awake, for about3 to 4 weeks - called grunting baby syndrome apparently! It was just one of those adjusting things they do - DS never had it. Might be that?
