Hi,
I’m feeling like there’s something wrong with me. I have a two week old, the first few nights with her at home I was so hyper vigilant that I couldn’t get to sleep at all and if I did doze off, I’d jump up in a fright and check on her. However, for the last week I’ve been going into a deep sleep the way I was before and two nights in a row I haven’t heard her crying in her crib which is right beside my side of the bed, dh has had to wake me (he’s an extremely light sleeper) it’s more whimpering than distress crying tbf but I’m worried that I won’t hear her if she’s getting sick or breathing funny. Isn’t the whole point of baby sleeping in the same room that you’ll hear them and respond straight away if they need you? Is there a way to train yourself to be a light sleeper? I can’t even say I’m extremely exhausted so there’s no excuse, baby sleeps plenty and I get to nap during the day.
