why does my newborn grunt and fidget at night?

Cant work it out. He doesnt do this when he sleeps in the day so why at night????
Keeping me awake!

I don't know, but DS was like a little piglet You'll learn to sleep through it though.

My dd would make some very strange noises and seemed very unsettled and wriggled a lot. It tailed off about 3 months so I assumed it was colic.

I prefer the noises to the silence as I panic that DD has died in her sleep and have to get out of bed to check. I've been known to give her a poke when she was very small.

Probably tailed off when she started to sleep longer.

Mine did it too. She has grown out of it now that she's three months old.

Because they know it's their job to keep us awake, even while they sleep

Aww, had forgotten those piggy snuffles! DD is 5 months now and sleeps like, erm, a baby (apart from when she's screaming!).
