DS grunted, groaned, and made so many little noises when he slept!  He wasn't gassy or uncomfortable, just was a really noisy sleeper!

DS grunted, groaned, farted, burped, snuffled, etc. Whoever said "sleeping like a baby" meant quietly was sadly mistaken. Babies are NOISY.

I don't think any newborn sleeps "soundly".

Max is 5 weeks and is so LOUD w/ his grunting.  Its usually just after he nurses in the middle of the night.  I'm not sure if its gas or just how he sleeps.  I know newborns are noisy sleepers.  I did read that sometimes lots of grunting can be a sign of reflux, but I don't know how accurate that is.  He doesn't really spit up.  I did elevate his mattress just in case, but that hasn't really made a difference.

The vast majority of newborns do that in their sleep.  It's extremely normal and does not indicate gas or anything else.

DS was noisy unless he was sleeping on/next to me.

Darth Baby breathing is normal.  We had to kick DD out of our room at 6weeks because she kept us awake LOL
