Hi Suxee. Many babies make a bit of soft noise while breathing - sometimes. It could come from the nose or appear to come from a bit deeper inside. In many, the sounds decrease and almost disappear when baby is sleeping comfortably. If that is the situation it is unlikely to be troublesome. If the sound is always there and especially seem to increase when child is sleeping then it needs assessment. A bit of nose block could be the most common reason for noisy breathing. I do not think that by 4 months age baby born by LSCS should have any more noisy breathing than those by vaginal delivery. Sometimes, if a baby was suctioned vigorously at birth - a bit of noisy breathing maybe heard for a few months.
Avoid using pillow under the head. It could cause neck to be bent (flexed) and may cause the airway in the neck to be kinked. If the noisy breathing - or noise at breathing is loud, always present, worsens when sleeping or the root of the neck seems to get sucked in during the noise - have a second opinion from another doctor. If it is not disturbing him/her and is free of the above signs/characters then it is unlikely to be a problem.
