Hello, my 3wk DS has developed a habit in the last few days of really noisy breathing when we put him in his crib at night - he snorts, coughs, snuffles and seems to be breathing really irregularly. This is very noisy and can go on for quite a while but eventually he settles himself to sleep (if he works himself up to cry, we pick him up, but most of the time he doesn't).
The odd breathing then starts again when he wakes up for a feed, though it stops as soon as we pick him up.
It's only when we put him down still slightly awake at night that this happens - in the daytime he often naps in his pram after we've taken him for a walk or if he's fallen asleep on me after a feed, and then his breathing is soft and regular.
Just wondered if anyone had similar experience? Is it anything to worry about, or just normal newborn behaviour? (He's my first baby so don't really know what to expect!)
