Sleep grunting?

Question

My 7 week old daughter lays in bed, asleep, and grunts through the second half of the night. We’ve tried burping, nothing; bicycle legs, nothing; gas drops, nothing; extra feeding, nothing. Without fail every night between 2 and 4am the grunts start. We have already discovered a diary/soy allergy and are on RTF Alimentum and reflux and take Zantac. The grunting doesn’t seem to bother her whatsoever (or my sleeping husband), but I can’t sleep through it. Anyone else? Any suggestions?

Answer

Oh wow I deal with similar issues! It usually starts at about 2ish and then I feed her at about 4ish and by the time we get done and I get her back to sleep, it’s time for my husband to get up for work. So basically I sleep from 1030-2 at night and that’s it. I’m like you, I can’t sleep through the grunts and squeaking but my husband would tell you the baby sleeps so good and never wakes up 😑 
Tonight I am going to move her into her own room. I bought a camera monitor to be able to see her if I am worried. I wish I had advise to give you,  it we will get through it!

Answer

My 4 week old also grunts, squeals, weird cries in his sleep, usually the last stretch from 2-6 am. It’s totally normal I heard and they’re asleep just noisy during it. Grunting can be from indigestion. My husband will go into the other room so he can sleep.

Answer

Same here! Every morning from 4 am. So I can’t sleep as I’m constantly listening out to here if she’ll start crying. Which usually happens after about an hour and a half....

Answer

Same here. Literally everything you said. My girl is on the pro-sensitive formula. Her bed is inclined slightly and she still does this most nights. It’s getting slightly better, but she’s only been on the Zantac for almost two weeks and it takes a while to work. Also, if they gain weight you have to go in and get the prescribed amount changed.

Answer

This sounds terrible but I started wearing ear plugs. It’s enough that it blocks the grunting but I can still hear if he wails out a real cry. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

My daughter does this too every night when I lay her down then every early morning

Answer

I had the same issue with my baby. Thought that she was grunting for food, so every hour I would feed her (EBF). Got absolutely no sleep for weeks. The only thing that work and gave me my sanity back was putting her in her own room.

Answer

Same with baby, he is such a noisy sleeper. He was like this since day one. After the first week I had him sleep in his crib in the next room. Our walls our thin enough where if he’s louder than a whisper I can still hear him. Also with the nanit plus I can hear him through out the entire night on my phone. it’s just not as loud as if he were next to me. I couldn’t take not sleeping every single night. I was the only one doing night feedings and with him during the day. I was missing nightly feedings because I was so exhausted, I’d sleep through my alarms. Having him sleep in his crib in the nursery worked for us!
