And we sleep with her door and our door closed. I can hear her without the monitor, but only just barely. <br /><br />When I went in to check on her, her crib was total chaos. She had pulled up a corner of the fitted sheet, had pulled a blanket down that was hanging on one side of the crib and somehow maneuvered it to the opposite side, and had thoroughly drenched the sheet and blanket on one side of her crib from all her crying. So yeah... I kinda feel bad for that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055016069862054255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204295766188828386.post-35734223250336972292009-09-04T09:46:46.746-05:002009-09-04T09:46:46.746-05:00How far apart are your bedrooms?

I know the baby monitor is right by your bed, but I've heard babies cry, and they can make themselves heard through doors and walls. As parents, your brains are now wired to listen for baby noises, especially crying, so even without the monitor you should have heard it. Unless your house is massively huge and your bedrooms are miles apart.<br /><br />I think you're assuming the worst and guilt-tripping yourself for no reason. Unless you and Brian were wearing earplugs that night.Criss L.

It took two weeks and I felt horrible the whole time. But the process is gradual with much checking and comforting, just no picking up of baby, so I think they don't lose sense of you loving them, but they do figure out how to go back to sleep.<br /><br />Something went very wrong for me and R though, she still can't sleep through the night without getting up. Definitely good to teach them to comfort themselves back to sleep before they can get out of the crib/bed, however it happens that you teach that most important skill.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533055716012674763noreply@blogger.com
