Newborn stuffy after feeding?

[crabgrass]

Anyone else have a newborn who sounds really congested after eating? Pretty sure it's normal but just wanted to get opinions. It doesn't last long, 30 minute or so, some times longer but I feel bad when it seems like he's have a hard time breathing through his nose. If it's reflux, what are other signs I should be looking for? He isn't spitting up and doesn't seem uncomfortable. It's just hard to listen to, especially at night :/

DS2 had this. He does not have it anymore at 8 weeks. I can not remember when it disappeared

I think it sounds normal. They tend to get milk up in their nasal passages when they are tiny, but they grow out of it.

Ditto. This happened to DD a lot when she was tiny.

Both of my kids but esp DS. Doc said normal.

Both my kids did this, moreso DS.

The dr. told me often times the nasal passages in boys are more narrow so while harmless it's more noticed and lasts longer.

I'm glad you asked this because DS2 is doing the same thing!

I was just wondering this. I'm glad to see it is normal.

DD used to get milk boogers and I'd just suck them out with the nosefrida. Seems to be better recently (she's 6 weeks).
