fell asleep while ds crying!

[kezzy13]

Last night I woke up to hear ds (19 mo) crying, thought to myself right I'll go sort him out, next thing I know dh was getting up to see to him, when I looked at babycam it had been over half an hour! I must have gone back to sleep :( feel absolutely awful now and hardly slept for the rest of the night. Anyone else ever slept through their baby's crying?

Of course! Being knackered will do that to a person.

Yes I have,
Felt awful the next morning when other half had told me baby needed a feed apparently I said "ok I'll get up" but I don't even remember being told or saying it. Woke up to him feeding her.
Very normal. My baby is seven weeks so I hate to leave her to cry still as she's so small at 19mo it's ok to let them cry sometimes. They won't remember either

Your dh had obviously slept through it until that point too so don't feel too guilty! Does your ds wake often in the night?

Yes he wakes up from time to time not every night any more luckily we tend to have phases of good sleep then bad sleep. He can put himself back to sleep most of the time, so I leave him for a few mins can't leave longer though as I live in a flat and our upstairs neighbour can hear him when he's crying. Dh takes quite a bit to wake him up! Xx
