Cutting the strings...

Thanks everyone

I'm spending the night back in my room with DH tonight.
Baby monitor is on and sound checked.

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.

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

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.

Yay for Hannah sleeping through tho (apart from the dummy-throwing, hehe)

We find heaps of things interfere with our monitor.
Electric blankets, phone chargers, laptop Oh and the microwave lol (not that we use it at night ) If we turn EVERYTHING off, no crackly noises

LMAO i do that too!!! i dream that i hear him so i get up and go get his bottle . .
its really weird
