Hi everyone,
I feel embarrassed/really guilty about this, but I’ve always been a very very deep sleeper. This has happened on a couple of occasions now where DS has woken up - I’ve briefly heard him and then fell back to sleep for what could be an hour or two. I always wake up in a panic thinking about if he’s been awake the whole time and probably feels abandoned. For all I know he might have fell back to sleep too, but I have no way of knowing and feel like a terrible parent. I always have the monitor next to my head but it doesn’t always wake me up.
Like recently my partner left for work at 7 and I remember him telling me to get up as DS was awake, and then next think I knew it was 9am - I was mortified. He didn’t seem very distressed when I went in, but I just feel so guilty that he could have been in his cot awake the whole time.
Sorry just thought someone might be able to make me feel better. This doesn’t happen all the time, but has happened a handful of times and really makes me feel anxious!
