Waking up or active sleep?

Question

My 2mo old sleeps great at night, 5-6 hour stretches. He is very noisy and loud, I've recently learned this is normal and called active sleep but that has me wondering if im waking him in the middle of the night for a bottle and diaper change? How do I I know if he's waking and ready for a bottle or just stirring? How long do I wait to see if he settles before picking him up?

Answer

If he isn’t fussy or crying then I would not get him up

Answer

My baby sleeps 7-7 and she stirs alot. We dont let her go that long without food so when she starts stirring at 3am, we dreamfeed her so she doesnt wake up. She sleeps right through her feeding and diaper changes lol

Answer

They cry when they are hungry and it’s the same cry as their daytime hungry cry. Listen closely during the day and then listen for it at night.
Grunting or even brief squeals or brief sharp cries are normal.
My LO is 12 weeks and aside from a delightful chorus of morning gassy grunts from 5am-6am, he’s pretty quiet now. Hang in there!
