my 5 week old makes the most peculiar noises when she's just had a feed or is getting ready to wake up for one. She is EBF and her weight gain is going really well, lots of wet and dirty nappies.
However, after a feed once she's falling asleep she grunts and strains while kicking and waving her arms in the air. She doesnt cry at all and doesn't seem to be in pain, and I'm assuming this is her way of getting rid of wind. Her farts are very teenage like at times! this can go on for about ten mins after a feed then she'll fall fast asleep!
It'll then wake her up usually before she's due her next feed. It's the waking her up bit that I'd like to avoid, its def disturbing her and waking her before she's ready This also only really happens when she's flat on her back. She doesn't do it if she falls asleep on anyone
