Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Murmurs need not always be pathological.
Some of them,especially in infants are benign and disappear as they grow.still I advise you to get baby’s 2D echo done to rule out any underlying problem.as your doctor said earlier,development of left heart would be completed by now.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
