When does all the racket quieten down?!

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

As the mother of a VERY noisy REM sleeper (not to mention all the grunting, squealing and yowling when she's passing wind in her sleep)...at what age do they tend to get quieter? I know noisy sleep is more common in premature babies (my DD was four weeks early), although I think most newborns are often pretty snuffly at the very least...

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear the experiences of other mums - when did your baby start sleeping quietly?

I can't remember exactly but he's 4 months now and quiet.

my 5 year old was a noisy sleeper and even now talks in his sleep.
i think you just tune it out eventually.

I suppose I should be thankful she can't talk yet, at least!

My ds who is 6wks is very noisey in sleep and snuffly. Dd was never like that,

Ds was very very noisy as a baby (he was 6 weeks early). I didn't sleep until he moved out of our room.

He is now 3 and still snores so loudly I sometimes think it is dh.

On the plus side I never needed to go into his room and disturb him to check on him, I could hear him breathing from halfway across the landing!

Groan!!!

I know what you mean, though, the times when she's asleep quietly, I'M too worried to sleep because I can't hear her breathing. Can't win!
