Grunting noises

When do they stop? LO is constantly making grunting and goat-sounding noises. To me, he looks uncomfortable, but the pediatrician (and nurses at the hospital) all said it's normal. But it's all.the.time. I just hope he's ok.

Re: Grunting noises

  • My LO does this.  She is 10 weeks now and she doesn't do it as often.  She always did it when she stretched.  I asked the pedi about it.  She also said it's normal & it's LO being vocal in a way.  My LO never seemed uncomfortable.  DH & I always laughed when she did it cause she really did sound like a little goat!

  • Andrew did this alot when he first came home. I'm sure he did it in the NICU, i just didn't notice it as much. I think he stopped when he was around 3 months (one month adjusted). I think sometimes it was gas, but not all the time.

  • I loved these noises!! My Los have stopped making the sounds (they are 5 months actual 2 months adjusted) and now just 'talk' all their waking hours....I'm a liitle concerned about what it will be like when they actually say words. I can mot remember when they stopped it was as if one day they were grunting and the next day making baby talk.

  • The nurses in the NICU told me this was referred to as "preemie grunts" and they said they may do it for a while... It's nothing to worry about, they're not in pain or anything.

    R still does it sometimes. It's not nearly as bad as it was when we first brought her home. She's still very vocal though :).
