My DS is 3 months old and has been a grunter through the night and day since birth. He would frequently go red faced through straining and grunting.
It’s got progressively better since his digestion has developed and the daytime grunting has stopped. However, he now seems to only grunt from around 4am onwards. A few times he’s slept until then so we haven’t experienced it, but if he’s woken in the night for a feed (usually around 2am) guaranteed there will be a grunting episode from 4 and he will be inconsolable.
He isn’t constipated. It’s not a reaction to his milk (ff). The room temperature is fine, etc. He goes down to sleep around 8.30pm without issue and doesn’t make a peep until it all kicks off in the morning.
Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes we can settle him but often not and I’m at my wits end!
