Noisy baby after night time feed - lots of grunting!
Also in Due in August
Hiya,
My baby is now nine weeks old. She sleeps well for the first part of the night (7/7:30 through to anything between 2:30 and four when she wakes for a feed).
She feeds well when she wakes and I wind her where possible though she is so hungry she isn't keen and cries quite vigorously! She falls asleep finishing her feed and as such I am unable to wind her at the end of the feed.
When I take her back to bed (she sleeps in a crib in our bedroom) she settles well for the first half hour but then grunts almost constantly until either me or my husband finally get up with her at about six ( sometimes even as early as 5).
I'm just wondering what this grunting is really and if she is likely to grow out of it - soon! Its a combination of grunting, snorting and gurgling. She's usually asleep when all this s going on. Is it wind? I have infacol which we used during the early weeks at each feed so maybe I should start trying this again.
Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly received. We're exhausted due to noise which stops us sleeping!
Thanks
xx

Also, I find that when my DS starts crying during a feed it means he has wind so we stop, wind him and then he goes back on for more milk. It could be the same for your LO when she cries.
It's so hard to understand what they want sometimes!

Maybe try spending extra time winding before introducing the infacol.
