    is phlegm normal?

    me again!

    Just wondering if its normal for baby to have some phlegm in her throat. ( I know, not very pleasant ).. but when Aneta sneezes strongly , or coughs , she seems to bring up phlegm... she doesnt cry much , only coughs every now and then ( doesnt have a regular cough or anything ) and is a happy formula-fed baby, so I dont think she's sick or that anything is hurting her - but as usual, im concerned.

    ETA - she also regularly has breathing that sounds like " rattling " ( hard to explain )... it sounds as if the phlegm is in her throat and she doesnt know how to cough or get rid of it
