Answer

My 4 month old daughter had the same problem but doctor said to give nasal drops every 2 hour.. also give it 2 minute prior to feed.. our doctor said babies don't have very strong neck portion.. so the sound comes from neck part .. still even after nasal drops it doesn't improve then you need to go to a paediatrician ..I still use nasoclear nasal spray one drop in each nostril.
