XP: Sleeping Question

orangegoggles

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?

Ours does this too, and was diagnosed with reflux. He's on Zantac now, but I haven't seen much of a difference yet. You might want to talk to your doctor if it's impacting his sleep (and yours!)

This exactly. DD tosses and turns all night and was diagnosed with silent reflux. Cried after feeding, painful hiccups, always sounds congested. She is sleeping a little more soundly at night with the Prilosec.
