How can a man sleep through his sons crying? Every night I swear my husband doesn't hear my son waking up or screaming…

@edomke, my son is up every 3 hours. The life of a newborn.

Mine doesn't but Patrick is only up once at night. But my husband works 70 hour weeks right now

@edomke, mine does if I ask but during the week I don't like to ask he works long hard hours

Men don't help at night mine still doesn't and Patrick is almost four months old

yeah. it sounds like the same things i did with my son. music. and swaddling always helped

but yeah i hope dad helps me when he hears his daughter crying id love the help. like will he let me nap and stay up with her that would be amazing

i liked to put my son in middle of pillows. like i made a picture frame with pillows so that he wouldnt roll. because i would swaddle him lol so didnt want his croissant self rolling off bed. haha it never happened but a mother can never be too safe

@mumof2,

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.

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

@mumof2,

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.

lol yeah. i cant sleep unless its pitch black and i have fan on to block noises thats how light of a sleeper i am. i hate it

so i know if i have baby in bed with me to be extra carful lol

but obviously im fine lol but my mom told me the story i was in between her pillows lol she said i was sleeping lol

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

@mumof2, oh no!

@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.

but i had son in bed with me and i woke up even from his baby sounds he made. im a very light sleeper. idk about his dad though we will see once baby girl gets here

well some moms lol my mom lost me one time in the bed haha

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.
