Getting baby back to sleep after night feed
Show your support
It could be active sleep. My boy does a lot of grunting and moving, but he is actually asleep and it stops within 5 mins and he settles. Maybe wait a few mins before picking him up next time and see if he will calm himself down?
I have the same thing with my 8 weeks boy, and we are thinking that he is having reflux symptoms and this is why he is so restful and in a lot of discomfort .. also, I am struggling to have long naps during the day because he wakes up constantly and seems like the reflux makes him so uncomfortable.. so I tried everything, walking around the house upright for an hour, putting him in different positions etc.. and the only way to settle him down when he starts getting extremely frustrated is to give him the bubby … it is a vicious cycle.. we have an appointment on Monday with the Doctor..
@Liz @Irina reflux is so hard! My first grew out of it eventually, hope it passes soon for you. Holding upright and tilting the cot is the only advice we’ve been given too! @Yana thank you, will give that a try, I wake at the smallest noise so always rush to settle him!
Exactly the same here at 8 weeks but can't be of any help as we've not fixed it yet. Been told probably silent reflux but not been given any advice other than hold up after feeds. The legs and arms plus the grunting are next level! I did the same as you and held him upright for a chunk of the night last night but I'm also so knackered
