Unfortunately it’s really normal. Sleeping with Newborns sounds like sleeping in a farmyard! We moved our eldest into his own room around 11 weeks old as he was sleeping through the night but was doing this constantly and keeping us awake, which in turn meant I kept checking him and then waking him up!
@Stephanie would this not effect her during the day too?
@N 💞 😩😩 it's just so exhausting!
It's completely normal. They do eventually grow out of it. Not sure why they do it but newborns are actually really noisy 😅😅 My baby just turned 6 weeks and is definitely a lot less grunty/squeaky now.
I remember this phase and me and partner being completely shocked at how grunty she was. The grunting is actually them learning how to move food/gas through their system, it makes them grunt! I found she grunted less if we “got her farts out” before bed! I did you gripe water a couple of times too but I think they have to be 1 month old for that!
I think all babies do this. My little boy grunts, laughs, squeaks in his sleep and has done since birth. He’s 6 weeks this Sunday & I just have to try and sleep through the noise. It’s hard but it’s something they grow out of once they’re older x
At night it’s much quieter, darker and scarier for them. You are their safe space. Do you use any white noise or a night light or anything? If not it may be worth trying. Also on a side note these chairs aren’t safe for sleeping, particularly in newborns and even more so in preterms as they don’t hold their head in a safe neutral position which can restrict their airway
This is pretty normal, especially for preterm babies. Preterm babies tend to be a bit more squirmy than babies born at term!
White noise is a lifesaver as others have suggested!
Maybe silent reflux
