And also some what during the day. It does get freaky because I don't know whether she is in pain or not. I hope it does get better but the waiting seems forever. Poor babies. I asked her pediatrician and she said it was normal, just a noisy sleeper. Didn't mention the grunting baby syndrome.

He's 2 and a half years old now, so I really don't remember when it stopped. My baby girl is 3 weeks old now and with the same issue. I have no problem with it since she doesn't seem uncomfortable or in pain, and since I now know it is normal and will go away on its own I just ignore it and let her sleep.... BUT she is sharing a room with her brother, and she's been waking him up at night with all the noise.. So, just to give me something to hope for.. does anyone here remember when it stopped??Zacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413408471555079827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-632436434759383222013-12-14T06:28:51.822-06:002013-12-14T06:28:51.822-06:00My sweety too underwent same issue. though there i...My sweety too underwent same issue. though there is not exact treatment for baby Grunts still this <a href="http://healthjinx.com/grunting-baby-syndrome/" rel="nofollow">article</a> helped my baby to pass this space bit smoothly.

He has never been constipated, he is fully breastfed and is very very healthy. I am a midwife in Australia so am very sceptical about mother's diet having any impact on mother's milk (I also am a huge dairy fan and WILL NOT give it up!). My baby's grunting is worse between 4-7am. I literally have to get up and walk him, he hates lying down when he grunts. When I feed him in those early morning hours, he farts and poos like crazy. He is otherwise a happy baby all day and evening. It is driving us crazy and our sleep is not that great, but I am confident this is a phase that will pass in time. It was a relief to find 'grunting baby syndrome' in the search engine. I really think it is just his digestive tract maturing.

Basically you start at the upper right part of his tummy and rub a backwards C. This is the way his intestines go, so rubbing that help move things along.<br /><br />I've been reading your blog for awhile now and I have to tell you I love the tone of it! I love the honesty and many times my husband has asked what I'm laughing about. So thanks for the helpful entertainment and congratulations on your incredibly handsome boy!Mrs. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767023066262740224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-72157694754976550272010-04-19T16:40:27.627-05:002010-04-19T16:40:27.627-05:00I don't have any advice, but just wanted to sa...I don't have any advice, but just wanted to say that it must really suck to be a baby.

We don't have that issue with Isaac but lots of moms in my mom group talk about their babies grunting, especially at that age.<br /><br />About dairy...first, a lot of moms that have to cut out dairy for baby only have to cut out milk and yogurt, as they seem to affect babies the most. If you aren't eating either, I doubt dairy is the issue. But if you do a trial run and cut out all dairy, it'll have to be for a couple of weeks because it takes that long for it to get out of your system. <br /><br />Hope you get it figured out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-67291050291838357252010-04-16T16:38:21.226-05:002010-04-16T16:38:21.226-05:00Hmm...well, clearly I don't have any insight [...Hmm...well, clearly I don't have any insight [yet], but my first thought was your diet.
