Pneumonia: It could be a misdiagnosis, but the xray may remain positive for weeks after an actual case of pneumonia.

Xray and no symptoms: I suspect the chest xray was obtained when the baby had symptoms. A follow-up is needed to assure resolution in 1 to 2 months. The image appearance may linger for weeks to months after the symptoms resolve. If the appearance become chronic, then you have to consider congenital anomalies, large airway obstructions, or chronic aspiration. But, cross that bridge only if the x-ray does not improve.
