I dream Josh is crying too i only wake up when he gets to the screaming stage now.

We use a monitor cos my parents have 3 cats and have to keep the door closed so even though we are in the next room we can hear him without the monitor.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:46:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=427028&title=cutting-the-strings#427028 <![CDATA[Cutting the strings... : nzpiper wrote:Can you still...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=427023&title=cutting-the-strings#427023 Author: Candkids

Oh no, sucky about the monitor. Chloe is in the room next to our bedroom though, and I hear her when she wakes up (I hear the cot creak, lol) and I can definitely hear her when she cries. So hopefully you should be sweet! We tried a monitor but it was so crackly, we could actually hear better without it.

Do you have cellphone plugged in in your room? Our Monitor we had to put on the second channel cos channel A was too crackley and we also found if there was a cellphone charger plugged in in the room whether a phone was on it or not it would make the monitor noisy. If yours has cool flashy lights surely it is high tech enough that it has other channels to choose from.

Glad its going well tho Josh started sleeping well during the night when we put him in his own room cos we werent waking every small cry and we would leave him to cry longer when he did wake up so now he generally falls back asleep on his own. He slept from 9pm to 8.30am last night so good luck]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:03:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=426795&title=cutting-the-strings#426795 <![CDATA[Cutting the strings... : Oh dear about the monitor... does...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=426779&title=cutting-the-strings#426779 Author: arohanui

Oh dear about the monitor... does it still do it if you change the channel?

We have Harry in his own room without the monitor - I found that I kept waking at every little snuffle that was picked up by the monitor. We have our room then a kind of lounge/study area then his room, we just leave both our doors open and we can hear him really easily.

Yay for Hannah being happy and sleeping straight through though!

Annoying

I felt completely happy in our room. Hannah was happy and slept right through (excpet a 30 second wake up when she threw her dummy out of the cot at 3am).
But I ended up in her room at 2:30am cos our monitor keeps picking up the neighbour baby crying, along with a huge crackly sound
It does it during the day (which is cute, cos you can hear the mummy singing lullabyes and the baby chattering), but at night it's annoying.

So tonight we're going to turn the volume off and hope the lights on it wake me up.

Hannah cried at 3am when she threw her dummy out of the cot. DH heard her and he'd sleep through a train coming through the house so we should hear her if she's going for it. She's in the next room, so it should be fine.
Chances are I'll end up in there again.

Kinda defeats the purpose of putting her in her own room.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:11:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=426770&title=cutting-the-strings#426770 <![CDATA[Cutting the strings... : Yay!

I slept like a log.
I'm going back to my room tonight...but I know I'll probably end up in Hannah's room

Good luck Charly! I freaked out the first couple of nights as Jack was only 6 weeks old (couldn't handle the snuffling like a hedgehog), and I had dreams that invisible pixies were holding him over his cot and were threatening to drop him... Needless to say I was incredibly sleep deprived so that could have had a part in it (I hope!

Good Luck I found the first couple of nights the hardest (on me, not her). I kept on having nightmares that she was in trouble in her room and I couldn't get to her (I can't remember what exactly was going on, but it was enough to wake me and for me to rush in and check on her).

LIke Serenity said I'm sure it will all be fine!

What has she been sleeping at night?

We had to move Maddi into her bed a few weeks ago because she had fully out grown her basinette. I must admit that even though She only moved a few meters away (she was sleeping right next to my bed) but I found it hard the first night to get sleep. I had gotten used to hearing every move and it was just reassuring knowing she was right there.
Maddi loved it though.

.... DH and I have decided that it's time for a certain someone to sleep in her cot, in her own room, for the first time tonight.

She's been sleeping in her cot during the day for 2 months now, so she's well used to it.
She's been consistently sleeping through the night for almost a month.

Luckily we have a double bed in her room so I will be sleeping in there with her tonight, just in case.

I don't know why I feel so nervous about this!
She'll probably sleep well... I'll be the one waking every hour

Anyway.
Wish us luck!
I'm secretly hoping she hates it so I can keep her in our room for another week. But we've gotta do it sometime...]]> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:01:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18648&PID=425859&title=cutting-the-strings#425859
