DS is four weeks old and so far we've been quite lucky with his sleeping, he'll sleep in his Moses basket at night for a couple of hours, wake to feed and then most of the time will go back to sleep easily enough.
He's been a bit refluxy so after a feed I'll burp him, hold him upright for 20/30 minutes and then put him down.
He's then so bloody noisy I can't sleep through it. He gurgles, grunts, snuffles, all while still seeming to be fast asleep. Sometimes I'll pick him up and he'll burp so I think the reflux isn't helping, but it's so loud and so often every time I start to drift off I'll jerk awake when he makes a noise snd that repeats every few minutes until it's time for his next feed and it's starting to make me irrationally angry and upset, I was crying in the night because I just wanted to sleep.
Last night I got half an hour between 1:30 and 8am. DP took him after that until he had to get ready for work at 9 so I got another hour.
DP sleeps through it all as he's the worlds heaviest sleeper and has a CPAP which probably drowns out a lot of it. I just wish I could tune it out as well and only wake up when he starts getting noisier for a feed.
I'm worried about trying ear plugs because sometimes he sicks up a little bit and the gurgling sounds worry me enough that he'll choke in his sleep.
Has anyone had a similarly noisy baby? When did it get better?
