Hi everyone
My 6 week old always grunts really loudly and squirms in his crib from about 5am until 9am every morning. He doesn't cry because of it and doesn't seem distressed, but he sounds like a farm yard animal and we can't get any decent sleep!
My OH and I take it in turns to do the night feeds, and we are really careful to wind him properly after every feed (breastmilk in Dr Brown's bottles) but he is swaddled at night and I wonder if that might have something to do with it? Could it be trapped wind do you think, or is he just trying to break free, the previous few hours of swaddling being enough for him? He sleeps soundly between feeds at 1am and 5am though, so it's really weird that the grunting only happens after his second night feed......
Any info or advice would be much appreciated
