Help I've give birth to a farmyard animal!!!

[bumpstheword]

Well, as you can probably guess from the title.
My DD is 3 weeks old and i am struggling to get any sleep.
This is not only due to her feeding every 3 hours but mainly due to the chorus of animal noises she delivers constantly between feeds.
We have grunts, snorts, burps, hiccups, trumps, whines, squeals you name it! She generally looks asleep throughout but occasionally opens her eyes (so i am guessing is in a light sleep)
She is not as bad through the day during sleep
I have tried to give her infacol before her feeds in case it is wind but she just spits it out.
Any suggestions
Thanks

I hate to tell you this, but it's normal. Sleeping babies are very noisy!

Both of mine were put in their own rooms once they were about a week old for this reason. Their sleeping 'noises' kept me awake and i think ours didn't help them either! Both of them then pretty much slept though from a couple of weeks old too.

Doubt infacol would help by maybe after a couple more nights you'll be that knackered you'll learn to sleep though it?

Feel for you though...

I know, my 1st was noisy and he got banished to his own room at 6weeks but this one! My god, i have never heard anything like it! Keep threatening to record her and let the HV listen to her. Cant understand why she is better during the day? Any thoughts?

Totally normal for the first three months, IME.

I learnt to sleep through it and only wake for the hungry squeaks. DS1 slept in with us for 6 months. DS2 still in with us at 8m and no plans to put him anywhere else!

DD2 was like this,she was in her own room from about 4 months because she was so noisy & we all slept better as a result.

I couldn't sleep at all with all the noise of my newborn. Put her in her own room after a few days and we both slept better as a result.

Same here. My DS makes all sorts of grunting, groaning, straining, squawking, huffing, puffing, groaning, coughing, choking, dog-toy-squeaking noises... and some more on top! He's ten weeks old on Sunday, but he was banished to his nursery after three days of DH and I wondering what the hell was going on! Now I even sleep without a monitor and just keep the doors slightly ajar - that way I'm only up if he needs me. To be honest, he's significantly less noisy now when he sleeps, although he's just started to babble a bit, which is sweet rather than feral! Good luck. Sarah

I remember ds snorting like a Pig in hospital which was quite amusing really.
Now we just get the normal grunts and noises when hes getting himself off to sleep.
I have noticed he makes more noise when hes nodding off as he tries to rub his head and I think that annoys him, so I tuck his arms in under the sheets now and it does work quite well.
