Should I be getting up more when baby wriggles and fusses?

How old is he? They often have what’s called ‘farmyard hours’ which is where their digestion is like, kicking back in for the day, so they get wriggly and a bit grunty but they’re generally still asleep. So no you’re not neglecting at all, you’re comforting in a way your baby is clearly responding positively to 😊

My boy is like that (he’s in the next to me and sometimes we co sleep too) and I need to get him up and burp him. Right pain in the arse when I burp him and he settles but then 10 mins later, always as soon as I lay down, he’s back to rubbing his face and wriggling. Like last night 😂

Once we finally get all the burps out he’s lovely and still

How old is he? My boy was like this, a real grunter, between 2 and 4 months. It's his digestive system kicking into gear and learning to exist outside the womb. Even if you burped him it might not change things and only wake him more (although it might be worth trying once or twice just to see if it helps at all).

Word of warning: this can start affecting your sleep significantly. My boy was so loud for so long and so often every night, even though I was asleep, it wasn't allowing me to rest and I got to the point where I started hallucinating so we had to move him to his own room much much sooner than I thought we would because it became unsafe. He then soon started making a lot less noise and he slept much better (and me too) cause it turned out I had been over reacting to his noises and feeding him more often than he needed. Monitor yourself, make sure you're rested enough to take good care of you both. Bub will be fine and eventually grow out of this!

If your baby was in any kind of pain he would wake and cry so i wouldnt worry too much if hes not crying as it maybe uncomfortable but not painful
