It is perfectly normal for a newborn to makes noises while sleeping. Here is a list of normal respiratory sounds that you may hear during a baby’s sleep: - The Rattle. The sound is caused by mucus clogging things up in his/her nose. A nasal aspirator may help to clear any clogging. - The Whistle. Newborn babies breathe out of their noses, not their mouths (this allows them to breathe and eat simultaneously). Bits of mucus or dried milk can easily constrict the airways, resulting in a wacky whistling noise. - The Gurgle. Sound made by the baby when he/she clears his/her throat. Here are some indications of respiratory distress that a parent should be listening out for: - Rapid breathing. When the baby's breathing rate increases (to more than 70 breaths/minute) and stays at that rate - Persistent grunting. When you hear a little grunting noise at the end of each breath, he/she may be struggling to open up blocked airways - Flaring. When you observe that the baby’s nostrils flare during breathing. This indicates that he/she is working too hard to get air - Retractions. When you notice that the muscles in his/her chest (under the ribs) and neck are more visible and contracting much more deeply than usual If you observe or hear any of those signs, it is best to check with your doctor for some medical advice.

Babies are notoriously noisy sleepers. They will grunt, moan, groan, and even wiggle in their sleep. This is known as as “active sleep” and “quiet sleep,” which coincides with REM sleep and non-REM sleep in children and adults. Furthermore, babies spend up to 50% of the night in this stage of active sleep. The only time to be concerned is if your baby snores or seems to have any difficulty breathing while asleep. If this is the case, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider.

When my son was little, it was very clear that he would breath rapidly, and then slowed down before breathing rapidly again. The noises he made had gotten me worried so I googled and got this article: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a1053604/your-newborns-sleep It was less worrying knowing that it's quite common but nevertheless, I was still unable to sleep properly because of it lol

Yes. In fact, the amount of noise your newborn makes while he sleeps may surprise you! Your baby's sleep can be deep and still, and active and noisy all in one night. He may even make little jerking movements. This is known as the startle reflex (moro reflex) and it usually settles down at around two months to three months.
