Premature babies often suffer from breathing problems. If a baby is premature there is usually a 1 in 10 chance of having breathing problems. Of course, the more premature, the more likely. Your baby is still only three weeks old. She will be breathing out through her nose rather than her mouth at this stage. And the passages are still very narrow, so even a small amount of mucus can cause problems. Watch your baby when she is breathing normally and get used to how fast this is - much faster than an adult. If possible video (with sound) a period when she is having difficulties and breathing problems. Then show this to your practitioner or health visitor so that they can see (and hear) exactly what is causing your worries. Are you still breast feeding? Some babies may react to other kinds of milk. This is obviously causing you concern. So, I do suggest you share your concerns as soon as possible.
