Hey Parents, question

It's normal Tanner.

If you don't have the book "What to expect in the first 6 months", get it. Worth the money on the first one, and it will sort thru the b.s. You hear on here and from the MIL.

My 2 cents.

Now, I need to teach this kid how to SLEEP at night...

Ours was a year and a half old before she slept through the night for the first time.

Your mileage may vary.

Your child's ductus arteriosis probably isnt fully closed yet. Some of the deoxygenated blood is bypassing the lungs which doesnt normally cause any issues. But feeding is the only time infants put stress on their cardiovascular system. The grunting is an attempt at increasing positive end-expiratory pressure in the lungs thereby providing more alveoli for gas exchange...and better oxygenation.
If it continues much past 3wks old, have him checked for congenital heart defects.

Or it could be nothing!

Grunting is better than crying all the time.

LOL @ Dr. Dave!

Hiccuping and sneezing can be a sign of reflux in babies.

As in acid reflux??? Fuck... He sneezes and hiccups all the time. Well, couple times a day.

[Tannerm]

Thanks all, and Dr D. He is always happy and never gives me a shitty face when hiccupping or sneezing. So hopefully thats nothing. As far as grunting, your dang right its better then crying! He started ball blattin when we gave him a bath and whenever we clean his nose out with that suction thing. He has some lungs.

I hate the cries when they are crying hysterically then there is about a 4-5 seconds pause and then it comes back. That kind of cry makes you cringe.

Yes, as in acid reflux. If he spits up a lot combined with those symptoms you might have it looked into, but otherwise he'll grow out of it and should be fine.

[Damnittsteve]

maybe he's a lil tool man

Last pediatrician visit he had good bowel noises and such. I assume its cause he was born a bit early. He was born 37 weeks and weighed 5lbs 4.6oz. Eh, he never cries or fusses unless hes hungry, and only then he just figits. Good kid so far. Now, I need to teach this kid how to SLEEP at night...

LOL, just enjoy him while he's still little and can't move around under his own power. Now is the easiest it will ever get.
