Usually there is nothing to worry if baby is feeding properly and gaining weight. Baby can have fast breathing upto 60 per min at 1 month. You may consult another senior pediatrician if in doubt

If baby is sleeping comfortably it not possible . Any intercostal or subcostal retriaction, no stridor, no blue colour , chances are mother is wrong . Better get the baby to get it checked . Physical check up is essential.
