Speak to your pediatrician if you're worried. But yes, heavy and irregular breathing is common with newborns as their respiratory systems are still not fully developed. My LO was pretty noisy with all her wheezing, breathing and groaning in her first 6 weeks or so as well - did give us quite a scare! But this eventually toned down.
Check the nose if it's blocked.. If see lo being too breathless, bring to emergency immediately. Sometimes they snor too haha
Yes, the nose is blocked. But still able to breath. I hv consulted doc before discharge.
Can use the nasal aspirator to clean LO nose regularly as sometimes stuck with goop.
Normal but better consult a pediatrician if the breathing gets louder or heavier
Yes, it’s normal. If you’re worried, bring your child to see a doctor
Hi, Yes it is normal but do consult doctor if you are worried

Yup:) takes a few days to settle down
Mine too but I guess it’s alright
