if your baby has an innocent murmur, then there really isn't anything to be concerned about. has she/he been seen by a pediatric cardiologist. my now 4 year old ahd a grade 6/6 murmur. meaning that they grade the murmur by loudness. I could put my eat on his chest and it sounded like a washing machine. he had a huge hole in his heart, it needed to be suergically coreected at age 3 months. he nows has a grade 1-2/6 murmur(very soft/quiet. when your baby gets a fever or is running the murmur can get louder and that is normal. most murmurs are nothing to be worried about. my 9 year old ahd one and it went away when he was 6.  my 4 year old has other cardiac issues going on but they are not realtaed to his murmur. also my brother is now 39  and still has a murmur and he can do everything anyone else can do he loves to hunt and fish.
I hope this helps out and your primary doctor will be able to keep an "ear and eye" out for anychanges to her/his murmur
good luck
