A member asked:

Once or twice i have heard whistle kind of breathing sound on my 7day old daughter while sleeping. do i have to about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please watch: If it is infrequent, no fever, and baby is feeding well with good skin color, one can watch that. Most likely, it is some mechanical conducted breath sounds. Any persistence or worsening should be evaluated. Do run a cool mist humidifier, especially in the winter months.
