Stretching of body while waking up from sleep is normal.
Grunting can be there as nasal blockage is common.
There nasal opening is 25% of our size so it gets easily blocked.
Also it will be common in this months from Nov to Feb.
Can use saline nasal drops, 1 drop each time. Once in 3 or 6 hourly depending on the situation.
Some children do get irritated while we burp them and it is normal. Avoid it if they dont want to be upright.
First 3 months sleep cycle is not established (ie day and night routine) so sleep disturbances will be there.
