Yes: Everyone, including infants swallow air during feeding & this will enter the stomach and add noise to the mechanical processing in the organ. As processed food enters & moves into the intestines it may also make some odd sounds. Some infants are noisier than others. Normal.

My son is 3 weeks 5 days old and exclusively breastfeeding. 11 days ago at his pediatrician appointment he was 8 lbs 15.6 oz. Today, he is 9 lbs 8.8 oz on our infant home scale. Is this any cause for concern or is this normal weight gain?

My 3 week old exclusively breastfeeding infant has 8-9 dirty diapers a day (many are smaller and many are also wet).. Is that a normal amount? Mom was on Keflex for a week early on but recently stopped. Could that have caused gut biome issues?
