DS has been sleeping pretty well for an 8 week old I think. He usually goes down between 8:00-8:30 and will sleep until 1:30-2:00. This stretch of sleep is deep and quiet. From there I feed him and he goes back down pretty quickly. However, from 3:30/4am on he is still asleep but groans, cries, and grunts loudly for hours, usually until about 6 or 7. He's done this now since 3-4 weeks old. We can't sleep over the noise as it is so loud you'd think he is in pain. I've tried picking him up to soothe, make sure he's been burped, etc. Sometimes I try to move him to his own room but he wakes up within 10 minutes.
He sleeps in a RNP and doesn't like to sleep flat. He eats well during the night and is swaddled. Any advice or is this just something we'll have to deal with for awhile?

I don't think so as he gives me some good burps but I do have gas drops I can try that I used to use in the beginning.

Yup, exactly! I'll have try propping his bed to see if that helps. I'm not quite ready to move him out of our room but maybe just for his second stretch of sleep.

It can't hurt to try. I just ask b/c even when M burps, he's sometimes still really gassy. I think it's just worked its way further down and he needs to fart.
The muppet is the same age and it sounds exactly like what he does. Sleeps from 8:30 - 2 eats, sleeps till 4 eats and starts grunting like a pig or cries in his dreams. DH moves him to his swing at about 5 am when he gets up so I get from 5-7 in a quiet room. He doesn't grunt as much in his swing from 5-7.
I think it is gas, or he is just in REM sleep so he is dreaming about all kinds of stuff, but it is his pattern and has been for a while, and I feel I just have to deal with it. I have also noticed that I feed him twice throughout the night but he doesn't poop till early in the am. He may be sleeping too well to do his business until it gets backed up b/c when he does it is A LOT!
So, I guess I don't have any advice, but it sounds exactly like our house with an 8 week old.
