To ask when the newborn grunting stops?!

DD is 4 weeks old and the noisiest sleeper that might ever have been. She’s our 2nd child but our DS is 6 so it’s been quite some time since he was a newborn. I can remember thinking he was a little piglet too but I’m sure not quite like his sister.

I know grunting in a newborn is normal and not concerned about her health wise: she feeds well, wees and poos are all normal, weight gain is fine and she’s content within herself. She is just like sleeping next to a cross between a farmyard and a race track. She seems content enough with her grunting and, after a minute or so, can settle back to a quiet sleep until the next time but I am sadly not so able to do this!

Hoping for a sense of light at the end of the tunnel! She’s 4 weeks now…surely this settles down soon?? all advice for how to settle her - or sleep in spite of her - welcome too (obviously she’s so little and so I’m more or less completely tuned into her even while I’m “sleeping”). She is FF but I know of plenty of BF babies also affected so advice welcome from all!

My baby is nearly 4 months old and still a noisy sleeper. Grunts, snorts and farts all through the night, like an old man or gremlin. I think it is super cute but I have learnt to sleep through it.
