Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote I put forth this possibility - I don't think that it is phlegm as the age is too young for it. It should have been noisy breathing.
Congenital airway anomaly - this causes noisy breathing (both inspiratory and expiratory noise, actually inspiratory will be more than expiratory noise). But the child will not struggle to breath and there will not be fast breathing and in-drawing of chest wall. The sound will be more heard during sleeping and feeding.
This will gradually get better as a child's age progresses. Please do not use antibiotics for this.
