My motto is if the eyes are closed, let them be! I read somewhere that the baby doesn't necessarily know it's sleeping, so the cries and movements appear as if they are awake and mad. But really it's just their brain processing a dream or something.

Juliet has been doing this recently too. I just leave her even though it does wake me up too but I just either try to fall back asleep or at least rest and lay in bed. I figure if she really needs me she will cry and let me know.

@rahlyrah: does your white noise drown any of the fussing out or is it too loud for that?

Yup. This was totally my LO for weeks same exact time, too. She doesn't do it as much anymore. She's even cried out in her sleep. She eventually would settle down.

Once again you posted something I was wondering too! Ha! C sounds like a warthog in his sleep and its hard to get any myself!

I used to move into the guest room at about 4am when M would start making noise in her sleep. I also started sleeping with a pillow over my head. There's something about being a new mom that makes you so much more sensitive to it too. DH wouldn't even hear it! Eventually we had to move her into her own room (2 months maybe?) and we all slept better.

@rahlyrah: Has B grown out of this? M does the exact same thing and at almost the exact same times. I don't really want to move her out of our room yet, but I can't sleep while she's grunting!

@Foodnerd81: Our issue is that our master is on the first floor and her nursery in on the second. She is loud for being such a little thing!

Ahhhhhh! I was wondering about this too. Glad this resurfaced. LO is so noisy at night. I won't be able to share a room much longer. She squeaks and sighs and grunts for hours on end. Only at night though. Her daytime naps are pretty quiet! It's amazing how much noise a tiny baby can make!

DD will occasionally whimper and fuss in her sleep - sometimes she even sticks out her lip and frowns, with her eyes closed. This usually occurs right as she's settling in for a long, evening sleep, or a few hours before she's up for the day. I usually wait her out, and sometimes just push the pacifier between her lips, and see if she'll take it. If she does, it will immediately calm her down, and she'll go right back to la-la land. Transferring her to my chest also works, but we co-bed, so it's an easy option.

@rahlyrah: oh boy good to know! What age was he? My LO is three weeks. I have a feeling I have some time still with the grunts!

@rahlyrah: omg. Lucky girl!! My baby is 8 weeks and she's so grunty still...and still waking up twice a night. I have a feeling that's not going to change drastically in the next 3 weeks, but a girl can dream!

@rahlyrah: I can't wait til I get a 7 hour stretch! My LO is pretty good for 3 weeks I think. She usually gives me 3-4 hour stretches but if we could double that I'd be in heaven! It normally takes me awhile to fall asleep after putting her down, usually cause of her warthog sounds. Sounds like your LO is doing great in the sleep department!
