She has a loud noise machine, but we do need to keep it down a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351620 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 11:47:08 +0000 pinkcupcake 351620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, her room is upstairs and we run white noise so we can be relatively loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351603 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 11:20:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 351603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DD is a super light sleeper. She doesn't sleep well with white noise (it actually makes her wake up more). Once she went to daycare it got a little better, but we still have to keep it kind of quiet during nap times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351560 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 10:32:42 +0000 matador84 351560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we run white noise in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351541 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 10:02:46 +0000 plaidpants 351541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a white noise machine and I don't know what we'd do without it! The only thing we don't do is crazy loud stuff, like hammering. But we run the dishwasher, vacuum, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351478 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:56:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 351478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't use to because we lived in a two level. But now that we're in a smaller one level, we play white noise on my iPod, and that way we can still do dishes, cook, clean etc... I don't use the vacuum or purposefully clank dishes or anything - I try to stay pretty quiet but I also don't stop doing things; I hope that he will learn to sleep through "life" sounds. Plus our apartment isn't so quiet. There are constantly kids yelling outside our windows, vacuuming and running on the floor above us, doors slamming in the hallways, neighbors talking etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351477 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:52:30 +0000 T-Mom 351477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a humidifier without filter or water to generate white noise. It drowns noise out, it's awesome. Also when we travel we use an iPhone app for white noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351458 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:36:09 +0000 Sammyfab 351458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsaudi: have you tried white noise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351442 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:15:49 +0000 cvbee 351442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>during the 4 month sleep regression we were, but now we can thankfully be normal again and it doesn't wake him up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351438 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:03:00 +0000 Springtime 351438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used to make all kinds of noise when he was a newborn, and he would sleep through it all! but he as become a terrible sleeper here lately and wakes up if he hears a pen drop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351432 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 07:56:59 +0000 erwoo 351432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During nap time, yes, mostly b/c our youngest swing naps in the office downstairs and I don't have any white noise except for the sound of the swing which isn't enough, especially when our dog barks. I even had to put a sign up by our doorbell to ask postal service ppl to not ring our doorbell when they drop off packages. As for bed time, nope. They are usually so tired noise doesn't bother them, thankfully! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351401 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 06:20:32 +0000 Sammyfab 351401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...we go about our ways. But we also play loud white noise in his room to drown out any noise we make (although we've forgotten to turn it on on occasion and it hasn't made a difference). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351398 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 06:07:18 +0000 London Mama 351398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we're a bit quieter after he's gone to bed. We tend to close the door to the living room where we spend most our venings but other than that we talk in normal voices and have the TV on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351393 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 05:52:26 +0000 Andrea 351393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we want her to be able to sleep through noise. The only exception is if I need to pee around 5 or 6 am. I can't flush or else she will wake up since our bathroom is next to her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351380 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 04:59:55 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 351380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all---I even vacuumed his nursery and around his crib while he slept right through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351366 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 02:53:10 +0000 Boogs 351366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we make noise as usual. It's actually helped him be a better sleeper, too. When he was really little and would sleep in his swing we would literally vacuum all around him and it didn't disturb him at all. So now, as long as we know he's asleep we can use power tools and everything and he will stay sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351305 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 22:29:56 +0000 mamabird 351305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No..we are just as noisy as day time. That way, we don't ever need to be super quiet. But, i do hear that they wake up from noise more easily the older they become. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351246 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:15:31 +0000 prettylizy 351246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we act normal. I do try to keep the dogs from barking if she is sleeping because that can be super jarring, but other than that we act normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351243 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:13:35 +0000 chopsuey 351243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Now that we're on one floor we're a lot quieter.. but LO has a sound machine in her room so it drowns out a lot of noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351242 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:13:06 +0000 Weagle 351242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. During the day I try to be a little quieter because naps are so difficult, but she's such a great sleeper at night that we can go about business as usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351232 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:06:37 +0000 autumnlove 351232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we make all kinds of noise...dishwasher, washing machine, tv and we talk in normal voices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-dh-extra-quiet-when-lo-is-asleep#post-351229 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:04:54 +0000 Springtime 351229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to be super quiet, tip toeing around the house, whispering, try not to open anything, eat anything lol. its kind of a nuisance but definitely do not want to risk LO waking up! sleep is too precious! </p>
