8 week old grunts throughput the night

[Rebelwithallthecause]

She’s sleeping fine generally and only wakes for feeding once around 3am

But either side of that she grunts and farts so much that it’s keeping me awake and im exhausted

She’s exclusively breastfed and is burped after each feed but still so grunty and farty

What can I do?!

No idea but I have a very grunty/groany/farty 5 and a half week old so I feel your pain! He's managed two 2 and a half hour stretches of sleep tonight which is the best he's ever managed but made so much noise in the process.

I can't remember if my DD was like this but if she was she definitely outgrew it at some point.

My DS who is now 6 months did this. Lots of grunting, huffing and farting

I asked around at the time and seemed totally normal for newborns-very noisy!

I think the noises started to tail off around 4 months ish and now he doesn't make any noise other than the odd fart and snore!

I had this with my daughter, me and OH used to take it in turns wearing earplugs 😂

Ah, I actually miss those little grunting noises.
I know it’s disturbing your sleep but I don’t think there is much you can do atm.
Congratulations btw.

We had this with DD. I'll be flayed alive on here for admitting it, but we decided that the risk of our healthy, full term baby dying of SIDS in our smoke-free home was a lot less than the risk of one of her exhausted parents driving into a tree, and into her own room she went.

We have the same! He’s getting much better at four months. We take it in turns of sleeping with him downstairs.

Same. DD was in her own room by about 20 weeks. It was like there was a fucking farmyard in her cot each night. We couldn't sleep because of her and she kept waking because of our tossing and turning. We were all sleep deprived and DH and I felt she was in more danger from that than from sleeping in her own room 6 weeks shy of the guidelines when she was full term, had a dummy, lived in a smoke free house, etc. We had a video AND radio monitor, plus a pressure pad to cover all the bases.

I know it's massively frowned upon on here and I'll be in the ducking stool ASAP but the decision suited us

This post takes me back OP. My daughter sounded like an all-in-one farm sound effect machine. It started at around 2am and would last the rest of the night.

Our DD was formula fed so I don't think it's related to breastfeeding. Just one of those newborn things which passes but is really hard at the time.

We like a PP, took it in turns to wear ear plugs.

My dd (now almost 9 months) was fluent in Billy goat. She used to just bleet all the time, night or day, they stopped after the newborn stage I think and she started to get her voice! But nothing changes in terms of every time the baby rolls over in her sleep or anything, my brain will wake me up. I've started listening to an audiobook while trying to sleep with the baby monitor on just a bit quieter, then after 2 or 3 hrs the audio will shut off once I'm asleep so I can hear her waking up in the morning c: Or maybe just one headphone with some soothing music?
