3 week old's noises while sleeping

I get so paranoid at times with my 3 week old. Sometimes she sounds like her snoring father. Other times she breathes "normally" and other times it appears as if she stops breathing and is breathing super shllow. Is this normal? Is her heavy breathing really snoring, sleep apnea, something other or just normal sleeping noises. It has me checking up on her often enough. Anyone else with similar experience?

YES!!! My second was the NOISEST sleeper. I got NO sleep during that first month because she was constantly shifting,snorting,grunting. It always sounded like she was about to wake up.

Honestly, I finally started sleeping with low noise level earplugs. They allowed me to easly hear her if she woke up, but it blocked out most of the grunting and snuffling that went along with what was her normal way of sleeping.

As long as your LO is on her back and nothing else is in the bassinet, she's fine.

My son snores - no milk allergy - Docs said it could be trachia-milachia (softening of the trachea). I'm pretty sure that's not how to spell it. It goes away by 1 year usually.
The ENT did a quick scope up one side of the nose.

I recorded the sound on my cell phone so the doc could listen next visit.

I also thought DS made too much noice breathing in the hospital, but I was told I was paranoid.
