Baby so loud we are unable to sleep!

[LW150195]

Our 4 week old is so loud while sleeping my partner and I are finding it impossible to sleep. She is grunting and groaning all night, it sounds like she is extremely uncomfortable but is fast asleep when you look in here Moses basket. This also only seems to be at night during the day she is a quiet sleeper.

Any ideas on why this could be and how to make it better? We are getting to the point of we are going to have to put her in her own room Despite being told she has to stay in with us until 6 months!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

I wore earplugs. They cancelled out enough of the little grunts they made so that i could
sleep, but I could still hear them if they cried (they were in a crib right next to mt side of the bed).

Very normal, it's the digestive system it's still maturing. My little one was the exact same.

Try white noise, it well help drain some of the noise out. I'm Afraid it's just one of those things that just get better with a little time.

Mine rustled around like mad and still does at 4 years old. Earplugs that you can hear crying through and take in turns in room with DC.

Another one here that put mine in their own room early.
With my 1st there was no choice as they outgrew the moses basket and we had no room for their cot in our room. They were only 5 weeks.

Second went into their own room at 7 weeks.

We all slept better.
We had a video monitor both times. I wouldn't have slept at all without it.

Obviously it's against advice though.

Get earplugs. Don't put baby in another room until 6 months. Your breathing and closeness helps regulate theirs and protects against SIDS. Also do not put baby on its front to sleep.
Seems like baby is sleeping fine but it's just the noise. So just get earplugs. You'll still wake up to any crying as earplugs won't block that out.. but they will block out the grunting.
My DD was a noisy sleeper. She was like a little woodland animal always snuffling grunting and sighing. Some babies are like that.
I always wore earplugs. Still breastfed on demand and woke whenever she cried. Just helped me to sleep through the grunting!

I had my 3 children long before the advice to keep the baby in the same room as you.

Yes, they all grunted as new borns. And had colic - sleep didn't feature heavily anyway in the first few months...
And they have all grown up fine.
