There are lots of phlegm does not mean children with pneumonia. Child birth that wheezing could be due to many causes, but one common cause is due to the soft cartilage, larynx.
Children 6 weeks usually have normal breathing rate below 60 times per minute. If children breathe faster than 60 times per minute that might have been pneumonia. However, in many other symptoms of pneumonia such as coughing, wheezing, breathing whimper ... so she should let the child to medical facilities to be the doctor.
