My baby 8 weeks old i've noticed few times this past 2 days she's flaring her nostrils especially during feeding does she have a problem?

Specializes in Pediatrics

See your doctor : If this happens only intermittently you can watch and see if it goes away in a few days. If this is happening every times she eats I would be concerned why she is having difficulty eating and breathing at the same time.
