Noisy Newborn

Ds is 19 days old and is incredibly noisy! He doesn't cry (thank god) but there is a constant soundtrack of grunts, snorts, clicks, pops and occasionally even some growling.

He also has a noise he makes when he needs something (nappy change, boob) that sounds like an old man grumbling Grin I don't remember dd being this noisy!

He also has an outbreak of baby acne which I read can coincide with a baby's fussy period. He will also fuss at the breast and struggle to latch on occasionally.

Does this all sound normal? I'm worried it could be a sign of colic or reflux as dd was a totally silent baby that just locked onto the breast and stayed there for hours.

my 6 week old farts, grunts, snorts and has little "episodes" of flailing cries, whereby he sounds like he's away to start bawling but doesn't. I'm really hoping it calms down soon as it's starting to disturb DH through the night. I leave DS as I know he's just settling in but DH freaks out thinking he's upset.

Gosh I remember this. Couldn't remember how loud DS was when we got him home.

Remember?! I mean believe!

FYI breast milk is good for baby acne, I used to wipe some on my DD's face and it did help
