Question
My baby, who is 2 months old, has been making a loud grunting sound at around 4 AM for the past two nights. The sound is quite strong, as if he’s straining. His hands are constantly moving on either side of his face. When I pick him up to sleep, he becomes very quiet. What could be happening?
Answer
The situation you described might be your baby learning a new skill, and I suggest feeding and supplementing his nutrition on a regular schedule. Also, it’s not recommended to pick up the baby, as he is still very small and it’s not good for his spine; he should be lying flat. These are the suggestions for the question “Why does my 2-month-old baby make a loud grunting sound at around 4 AM?” I hope this helps, and wish you and your baby a speedy recovery!
