You asked: Why does my newborn make weird noises?

There’s grunting, groaning, snorting, and all sorts of other funny sounds that you’ll hear out of her. But according to Dr. Levine, all those strange noises are caused by baby’s nasal passages being pretty narrow in the newborn stage, leading the mucus that gets trapped in there to create some added sound effects.

Why does my newborn sound Snorty?

Snorts and grunts happen because babies breathe through their noses. This allows them to feed at the same time as breathing. As your baby can’t blow her own nose, mucus stays there and produces a whistle, sniffle or a snort as air passes through.

Why does my newborn make whining noises?

While older children (and new parents) can snooze peacefully for hours, young babies squirm around and actually wake up a lot. That’s because around half of their sleep time is spent in REM (rapid eye movement) mode — that light, active sleep during which babies move, dream and maybe wake with a whimper.
