How can a man sleep through his sons crying? Every night I swear my husband doesn't hear my son waking up or screaming for his bottle, or how does a man forget his son is in the bed next to him? I literally have to tell him every time be careful because he will roll over next to him. That's why my son can't sleep with us. He sleeps in his bassinet next to me but I have to keep him up after his feedings because of reflux so it's easier to prop him up on pillows next to me in the bed while I pump milk, but this man is so careless, a mother hears every peep and would never forget her baby is next to her. I don't get it.

Amen! I've been up all night with my baby boy. I've slept maybe 2 hours because I wake up to every cry but my fiancé has slept all night peacefully. It's irritating.

@kaylawayla0528, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm the only one who wakes up I have to or else he wouldn't eat. I don't mind I just don't get it. On the weekends I make him get up and help with him but he works so much during the week. If I ask for help he never tells me no and helps me out.

@mumof2, I'm not a light sleeper but I hear every noise my son makes. I guess it's just a mothers instinct.

He sleeps in the bed next to me during the day when my husband is at work. Our bed is a cal King. There's plenty of room for him even now but it's not gonna happen. During the day it's just us 2 but I keep him a little bit away from me with nothing around him just him wrapped in his blanket. I never allow anything around his face while sleeping. If the blanket comes up on the face during swaddling I always fix it or fold it down.

my bf sleeps with tv on and im up practically all night because every loud noise or conversation on the tv wakes me up the min i shut my eyes

That's terrible. I couldn't sleep with the tv on because it would bother me but I could sleep through it. I put white noise on on the iPad for the baby because it helps him sleep better so that kind of blocks noise out for all of us because it's too quiet without it. The womb is very loud so babies are used to the noise. I definitely sleep harder these days because of lack of sleep but without the white noise you hear every peep from the baby so the white noise helps.
