Grunting

[Newbee123]

Hi ladies my premmie grunts all night is this normal ? Well not all night but most of the night. I find it so hard to sleep sometimes.

Hi. My LO was born 11 weeks early and grunted quite alot for the first few weeks of coming home. She is now 20 weeks, 9 weeks corrected and has grown out of it. Congratulations.

Hello, my lo was 6 weeks premature and she grunted ALOT!!! I wasn't there to witness it for the first two months as I was in hospital but my DH complained about it all the time. She is now 6 months and has grown out of it.

My lo 4 weeks early grunted all the time I think it's the digestive system / stomach tried to keep him upright or could be reflux he grew out of pretty soon x

Bahaha. I feel like I’m stalking your posts but I haven’t given back to the premature community in a while....

Oh my lord, I could’ve written this myself last year. It drove me absolutely CRAZY, because even when the baby was asleep the weird pig grunting continued all night.

If I’m honest, gaspshockmurmurs of ill-content* it drove us to put baby into his own room at two months. We had a video monitor AND a sats monitor (which went off for no reason about 3x a night) so it was relatively safe for us.

He stopped at some point - I can’t tell you when because for us it stopped at two months (adjusted)

Lol, I'd forgotten about the grunting. Yes it's completely normal, both mine did this and I remember all the other premmie mum's talking about it. Can't remember the reason now, was it smaller nasal passages???? Not sure, it goes away about 5 months (corrected) I think. It's one of those things that just stops suddenly and you don't notice for weeks 👍

Absolutely normal, it drove me mad and I couldn't sleep when he came home 🤣 soon got used to it! He's now 21 weeks actual/9 weeks corrected and doesn't do it. Not sure when it stopped!
