Hello! Any advice would be much appreciated! I have the worst mum guilt ever, last night after I had just put baby down to sleep I fell asleep myself, not long after baby woke up and was crying, but I didn’t hear it at all and woke up an hour later to my partner bringing baby back up to bed. Baby sleeps in his next to me cot right beside my bed so I am totally confused as to how on earth I managed to sleep through him crying?! My partner was downstairs and came up to get him, he said he had only been crying a couple of minutes so he took him downstairs so I could get some rest. I thought I was usually quite good as I do the night feeds and am normally up at least 3 times during the night. But now I am worrying that I could be sleeping through sometimes when baby is waking up?
I feel absolutely terrible and worrying that I don’t have this ‘mother’s instinct’ that people talk about where you wake up at the slightest noise :(
Has anyone else had anything similar to this because I feel like the worst mum in the world!
Thank you in advance x
