We don't find that it helps LO sleep better but it allows us to not tiptoe around because it drowns out environmental noise. :)</p> <p>I am soooo overprotective of my LO's sleep! I'm sure my family and friends think I am totally bonkers and just being a paranoid first time mom but they don't know how difficult he can be when he's an overtired, crank mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-269171 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:32:19 +0000 looch 269171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I was a lot worse than I am now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268957 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:39:55 +0000 pinkcupcake 268957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nopes, I'm pretty lax...LO can sleep through anything, thanks to our three loud doggies. Even when we are out and about all day, she's good about napping in the car, my arms, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268744 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:42:29 +0000 chopsuey 268744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I get crazy and have major mommy tantrums if people mess with her sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268722 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:37:34 +0000 autumnlove 268722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, she is a deep sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268681 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:30:37 +0000 banana 268681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YESSSSS. I'm overly protective of my son's sleep. We always ALWAYS let him nap at home. Even if we're out and about, we'll always make it back home for his naps. It kind of ruins our plans but I'd rather have a short day out than deal with a cranky tantrummy toddler at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268568 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:07:34 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 268568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though he sleeps pretty soundly once he's down, I'm pretty protective. When we were on the road last week, I actually managed to get him to sleep in the travel crib! I hid in the hotel bathroom for awhile and then crawled to my bed to make absolutely sure I didn't wake him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268530 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:56:40 +0000 heffalump 268530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very. She's a light sleeper and ive learned that the hard way. And she's a cranky pants if she's tired, as most babies are. So I'm a crazy person when it comes to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268516 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:52:51 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aside from a small window right after he falls asleep and right before he wakes up, i'm not protective. when lil' cb first came home, i was, but we quickly learned that he can sleep through a lot of noise. seeing as how he lived in a busy apartment building in seoul for the first 15 months of his life, i think he got used to sleeping with noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268511 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:51:41 +0000 regberadaisy 268511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG my mom would do that when she was here and it drove me NUTS!!!! We don't use white noise...I DLed one on my phone before and I didn't really find it helped much for M at least.</p> <p>I think I am semi-protective. If she's sleeping and my husband has the TV on too loud I freak out. Or if the dog barks I freak out. Everything has to be uber quiet when really I know we should act normal then she would just get used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268504 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:51:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 268504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Way too much. We bring our humidifier (our white noise) and nightlight with us when we travel! We actually DON'T travel much because we want to protect his sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268503 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:50:59 +0000 loveisstrange 268503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. Not so much at night but i am during the day because shes a terrible napper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268498 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:49:47 +0000 Andrea 268498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be when DD was younger but not so much anymore. We've learned that she's a pretty deep sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268492 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:48:58 +0000 SAHM0811 268492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite... I was pretty laid back with my first DD.... probably because she was an awesome sleeper. I had almost no sleep troubles with her.</p> <p>But I'm more overprotective about my second DD's sleep because she's not a great sleeper. So when she sleeps, I hate when anything or anyone wakes her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-overprotective-of-your-los-sleep#post-268481 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:46:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 268481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was extremely overprotective of Charlie's sleep. I still am with Olive, but you have to be a little more lax when you have two. Right now I'm working in the dark in a hotel room with white noise on while Olive naps. </p> <p>My mom just came in three times!!! and opened the squeaky door. I would never do that for fear of waking Olive up from her nap! But of course she didn't wake up, and I don't need to be so paranoid, but I can't help it. </p> <p>With Charlie, I used to travel with garbage bags and painter's tape to block out lights from windows. One thing is for sure.... I think white noise may be my single most important baby product!</p> <p>Are you overprotective of your LO's sleep? </p>
