    Lol, you have an Annabelle double! For us, not every sleep is like this - it was a lot more early on, and it seems as though it was related to wind pain - she had a lot of gas constantly, so was always scrunching up her body trying to get it out.

    Now she only seems to do it for a little while until she gets into a proper sleep.

    Sorry I'm probably not much help, but I know what you're going through and hope it passes soon

    I desperately hope it's not long term, I could be getting so much more sleep if she'd just pipe down!

    yep, its normal. you get used to it and they tend to get quieter as they get older... when asleep anyway

    My second wasn't 24 hours old before a midwife commented 'he's quite chatty, isn't he?' Hasn't shut up since really. If she's not uncomfy or unsettled, she could just be a noisy one...I tried to co-sleep with both ours, but I really have trouble getting to sleep; if I'm not properly asleep, any little noise brings me back, so both babies have been in the room next door. Do you think some white noise in your room, like a fan or gentle music would help bub's snuffling to blend in a bit?

    my dd is silent when she sleeps, sometimes i have to poke her just to check she is all good. she makes up for it when she is awake!
