.. mostly when breastfeeding, angry or eager for something, which I can not see any muscus. I have done nose steaming yet can't get to the root. I do mind my breast not covering his face.

Sometimes he sleeps without snoring while sometimes not (with mouth closed).

So, worried right now of what to do so he can get reliefs.

If you can't see any mucus blocking the nostrils or flowing out then the child does not have catarrh.

Some babies breathing may appear noisy but there is nothing wrong with the airway. Just that the airway is still very soft and pliable & not rigid like that of adults. But if you are still worried you can see a doctor.
