If you had a grunty newborn

[gibbinator]

WHEN DID IT STOP???

dh and I are losing our minds. Last night ds2 happily (and loudly) sleep grunted from 4:30 -7am straight. There was never more than 5 mins of quiet.
If cosleeping weren't so convenient for bf he'd be outta here and in the nursery by now.

Slowed at 4 months, got much better around 5 months! (yes I took note of this 'milestone' lol)

It was bad, I'm sorry. He would be asleep in the infant carrier when we were out and people never believed that he was asleep! The horse and raptor noises were the worst.

[SJ]

She is 11 weeks and it is much better, although she can still be very loud at times.

[Jem]

Ugh, we have a grunter too! And there is nowhere for him to go because long term he'll be sharing a room with DS1. He's 2 months and no less grunting yet, here's hoping he quiets down sooner rather than later!

[timorousbeastie]

DD didn't get quieter until about 4 or 5 months. Of course, that's also around the time we moved her to her own room, so maybe she didn't get quieter, we just couldn't hear her any more?

I swear, this is one of those things no one ever tells you about having a baby. Everyone says sleep when the baby sleeps, but how are you supposed to do that when you have a little gremlin making so much noise??

[formerlyllizzyb]

That's why we moved DS to his own room at 2 weeks!

DD was over it in the first 2 months.
DS still does it at 7 months. I have his monitor turned down as low as it go for this very reason.

It's always both my kids didn't make it more than a couple days in our room.

M grunted from like 6-8 am today. I played a hair dryer noise at full volume on my phone to drown him out. LOL

[lo]

Our baby rhino is still going strong with the grunting at 10 weeks. Glad to see I'm not the only one it drives crazy, lol.

[chickadee77]

Signing in - still grunting at three months!

[loskadoodle]

This is why Ds is in his own room!

[Blue Moon]

My baby is in her own room and I can hear her grunts from my bedroom across the hall. I'm a super light sleeper so I'd get even less sleep if we co slept.

I seriously LOLed at horse and raptor noises... that's a perfect description!

[changedname]

My little gremlin finally quieted down at around 3 months. I kind of miss those noises now..... at least I knew she was alive.

[dancingirl21]

It felt like forever! We moved him to his crib around 12 weeks and I think it got better then.

[deo]

DS1 was a big grunter. We moved him to his own room at 4 weeks because we couldn't sleep with all the grunting. He would grunt from 4am to 7am every morning. I remember lying there awake thinking he will either poop or wake up soon.... nope just more grunting. I think he grew out of it around 2 months.

[carolinagirl831]

It seemed like she was a loud grunter forever.. Which is why we put her in her own room at 8 weeks. And then we ALL slept so much better

[rbp]

I am moving M to the nursery as soon as I can walk without my boot.

[aqualuv]

L was a grunter because he was pushing gas or poop out. We started him on probiotic around 6 weeks old and he's gotten much better. More peaceful nights of sleep.

[meij]

My first wasn't a grunter but a meower. She was so loud when she slept, meowing and moaning. We had planned on having her in a co sleeper but she got shipped off to her crib across the house her first week.

She's five now and is still a really loud and restless sleeper. If we were loaded we'd get her an adjoining room when we stay in a hotel, lol. She sighs, smacks, groans, talks.

Co sleeping is convenient only if you are able to sleep!

[sh10]

He stopped around three month? But was in his crib from six weeks, I couldn't sleep with him in the room. He was too noisy.

[lg28]

She's almost 3 months and its getting better.
From day 2 she has slept in our bathroom in a bassinet with the fan on to drown out some of the noise.

[osulori]

I'm not sure. It's one of the reasons I moved him into his own room at 2 months. Concern that J's snoring preventing AJ from sleeping soundly was the other.

[FastHands]

Mine has issues with gas, and his gas cries seriously sound like a pterodactyl.

[sunshine608]

8 weeks here. Right around his two month appt.

omg DS and I co-slept for a 3 weeks and it was terrible. When he moved to the crib it was slightly better because we is at least 7 ft from me. I think it went on for 7-8 weeks.

[rex]

it was a few months. L moved out of our room early for a few reasons, loud sleeping being one of them.

[badtzmaru22]

DS is grunty, but I have pugs, so I guess I'm used to it! Although, the pugs sleep in a crate downstairs for a reason. Lol.

The only time it bothers me is if it's after a MOTN feeding and I can't get back to sleep. He seems to not grunt when he's on his belly, but he's way too new for that, unless it's a nap during the day and I'm right there.
