My little boy is 10 weeks old and wakes up every 3 to 4h during the night to feed. He usually sleeps quietly for the 1st stretch (8pm-11pm.roughly) but for the rest of the night he is really noisy after around 40min of going back to sleep in his next to me. Sometimes it's clearly due to gas or needing to poo as he strains but sometimes it's just a lot of 'fussy' noises. We usually give him. A dummy which helps but it will fall out quickly or he even makes noises with the dummy.
Is this normal? How do you guys get sleep (I'm a really light sleeper so I'm basically awake everytime he makes noise).
If he is being particularly loud or its constant we sometimes put him in our bed and one of us doesn't sleep and he is much calmer/quieter.

Maybe he is cold ?

I don't think so... He usually sleeps in a vest, sleepsuit and swaddle. I check his body temperature throughout the night and add a blanket around 3am when the temperature drops.

My baby is like this too!! It’s so weird! First stretch she’s quiet. And then after a night feed it’s like we have a warthog in the room! It’s not from wind either I don’t think as she’s burped and fast asleep.. just super noisy!! No idea why!!
Keeps me awake! I’m debating whether to put her in her own room but don’t want to yet, but sleep is lacking for me 🫣😩

My LO was like this for weeks. She has just started to quiet down in the last week or so. She is 11 weeks old now. I resorted to wearing earplugs on the worst nights. I could still hear her if she cried but it muffled the farmyard noises!

We also tried gripe water as I think it was stomach/gas related. We've been giving it to her for weeks, not sure if it helps or not!

I actually read somewhere that babies are still learning to poo which is why they're so noisy and it always seems to be after the first or 2nd feed of the night. Seems bizarre considering they poo all day long but still 🤣 it's meant to get better once they're a few months old!

My boy is 10 weeks old and also wakes every 3-4 hours and then is unsettled etc which wakes me up too x

Mine does this too - look up active sleeping! X

Exactly the same here. My boy is just over 11 weeks and has been doing this since maybe 5/6w. Sometimes it's gas - when we lift up/bicycle his legs he starts passing wind. Sometimes it's poop. I was told his body is basically learning how to move it through his digestive tract which comes with all sorts of sensations that he reacts to like this. He's still sleeping through it most nights, then he wakes and poops the whole morning lol
Lucy Webber had a post on this too..

I find interesting that it stops when I pick him up/ he doesn't do it throughout the day although he still poops loads. But it seems like nothing can be really done..

Could have written this post myself! I think we just have to wait it out 😩

Saaame, I thought it was just because my hubby sleeptalks. Good to see the noisy nights do end. i dont sleep properly past 4 and bring him into our bed
