Grunting

in Preemies

After 5 weeks in the NICU we finally brought our little guy home yesterday.  He grunted a bit in the NICU but now that he is home he grunts and squeaks the entire time he is awake. 

Is this typical behavior for a preemie?  We did have our first pedi visit today and he did not mention that this was abnormal but I just thought I would check with the board to see if anyone else had this experience.

Thank you!

    Congrats!  As far ask know its totally normal. Our room sounded like a jungle for the first several weeks because of all the noises.

    Totally normal!  Crazy how much noise a little baby can make, right?  I think all the nicu beeps, swooshes, puffs, and shuffling drown out their sweet sounds.

    Totally normal! Adalyn was like that a lot at first, and it slowly is getting replaced by cooing.  Be sure to videotape the grunting, since it will go away!

    Normal.  DD was so loud all the time, especially when she sleeps.  She is now starting to coo more and sleep a little quieter, but the grunting is still there.

    This! My baby sounds like a constipated goat. Makes sleeping difficult.
