I know there were times where we had to bang pots and pans around to make dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055612 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:56:46 +0000 gingerbebe 2055612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on time of day. If its nap time or in the evening after DS has gone to bed, we just tend to live our life. However, we tend to be VERY quiet in the early morning - we don't even flush the toilet - because if wakes up any time after 5am, he often doesn't go back down and I desperately need that morning time to pump and eat breakfast and get myself mentally prepared for the day, not to mention the little bit of extra sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055543 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:29:38 +0000 NeekieRose 2055543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. Never have and she sleeps really well. I was concerned about making it too quiet and her getting used to it. Kid has never had a problem sleeping in a noisy environment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055459 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:54:52 +0000 Ajsmommy 2055459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to be quiet but my DH refuses and he's so, so, so very loud! He is a pretty big guy and you can hear him walking around (well stomping around, as I call it) when he is downstairs and you are upstairs, he also needs lots and lots of ice in his drink so he's constantly using the ice machine and he's always talking on his phone loudly and in and out of the front door! It drives me bonkers BUT luckily DD is a good sleeper and I think most of my worry ends up being for no reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055245 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:52:14 +0000 erwoo 2055245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did! Even if the boys' rooms were upstairs far, far away from the family room in the back of the house. We had hardwood floors throughout the main level of the house so noise traveled upstairs fast. And my in-laws walk really hard and talk really loud... So... ;) We don't do that anymore now that they are older (almost 3 and 6), even if their rooms are right next to the dining room/kitchen area of our place here in Asia. Even if we have tiled floors it doesn't seem as noisy b/c we have so much furniture to mask it? Haha! Just glad they don't get easily woken up anymore. Only when my youngest wakes up and starts screaming for us. That's usually time for his big brother to wake up anyway so it saves us time to go and wake him up. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055227 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:41:18 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2055227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but neither of us are really noisy. The TV is on the wall next to his room and it never seems to bother him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055221 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:32:13 +0000 MrsF 2055221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to be quiet, but with a toddler around it's really pointless. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055196 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:07:46 +0000 Modern Daisy 2055196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I am also having new interior doors installed to help with the noise. We wake ds up every morning despite our best efforts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055194 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 08:02:46 +0000 Dandelion 2055194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for D. He sleeps through everything. I try to tiptoe around when M is sleeping, but DH doesn't and it doesn't usually wake up M (dh is loud!). I guess I don't need to be as paranoid lok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055163 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 07:31:28 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2055163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with my oldest, and she is THE lightest sleeper. I swear I can put my hair in a pony tail and she shoots out of bed screaming "mommy! What was that?!?" </p> <p>We've got a 1300sqft split home, so our living space is all on one floor. </p> <p>Now that we've got two kids, it's next to impossible to keep the noise down. The baby has adapted. It's difficult to GET her asleep sometimes but this kid could sleep through a hurricane. She's successfully slept through a 3yo tantrum and me vacuuming right beside her.</p> <p>I say make noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055162 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 07:31:26 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2055162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@valentinemommy same! </p> <p>Usually I try to not be SUPER loud during nap time because he's a bad napper and we have a bungalow so hes right down the hall from the main living area. He does sleep through dogs barking and laundry right outside his room though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055160 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 07:28:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 2055160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when walking by his bedroom during naptime. At night he will sleep through anything, but there's no way I wanna chance waking him up during his nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055133 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 06:12:13 +0000 ladybee 2055133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Our house is small, both bedrooms are on the first floor and our old hardwood floors make so much noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055099 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 02:05:13 +0000 Bubbles 2055099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During naps, yes I do try to be relatively quiet - I still get stuff done but I'm aware of noise levels. After bedtime though, nothing is waking him up - not even a fire alarm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055048 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 00:00:52 +0000 BabyTsMom 2055048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to a degree. Our house is a decent size and I know in theory that LO probably can't hear much with the sound machine going and all, but I still can't break myself of the habit. I'm sure LO would be fine with more noise around; it's just me and my darn anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2055046 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 23:58:28 +0000 ALV91711 2055046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he was younger we were quieter but we aren't usually that noisy.</p> <p>The other night the smoke alarm went off twice while cooking dinner and I thought we were in for it but he didn't even budge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054784 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 20:34:01 +0000 Charm54 2054784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope....her room is off our main living/kitchen area and we make no effort to be quiet. That girl can sleep through anything (including a 50+ person baby shower I hosted a few months back that occurred a few feet from her bedroom!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054596 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 18:29:24 +0000 jedeve 2054596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Their bedrooms are close by the kitchen and living room so they wake to loud noises. And both were around plenty of noise when they were little. I don't think it's something you can really teach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054579 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 18:19:41 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2054579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. we want him to be able to sleep through noise. So far it's been going great....he could practically sleep through a hurricane. And our place is small compared to other Bees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054574 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 18:18:04 +0000 Smurfette 2054574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054572 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 18:16:02 +0000 meredithNYC 2054572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little, but I trust her white noise to drown out most sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054538 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:50:25 +0000 looch 2054538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I did and still do....habits are hard to break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054528 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:42:24 +0000 BandDmommy 2054528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054509 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:32:45 +0000 DillonLion 2054509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always, but my dog and DH do not, and she's never been woken up, so I don't know why I bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054507 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:32:17 +0000 Kimberlybee 2054507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our condo size is very similar to yours but it's a 2 story and within the city zone so it's super noisy sometimes. She is use to all the traffic noise during traffic hours. I always have classical music on in the background and it has worked well for us. She does wake up to UPS delivery because they bang on the door very loud. So back to answering your question, no I don't, she is use to the noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054478 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:14:59 +0000 shopaholic 2054478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes and DD is almost 2. She's an incredibly light sleeper and even when NB I tried to "Train" her to sleep with noises going on in the house. Forget it. Even with a sound machine and loud humidifier, she'll wake up if I drop something heavy, sometimes doing dishes or laundry, if the doorbell rings, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054465 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:04:08 +0000 Mae 2054465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did before we sleep trained because if she woke up-- it was over. Now I do try to keep really loud noises at bay but mostly we live our lives. The other night I was trying to make dinner after I put LO to bed because my husband was getting home really late. I was trying a new recipe and managed to set the smoke alarm off, which set the dog to barking. So I flipped the oven fan on high and I'm trying to fan the smoke away from the smoke detector and I'm yelling at the dog to hush up and thinking my baby will never go back to sleep after all this drama.... I looked at the monitor and she was laying there staring at the ceiling then rolled over and went back to sleep lol. So I guess I really needed be as concerned as I am even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054460 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:02:28 +0000 HabesBabe 2054460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No-- our house is smaller than yours, and we continue with our usual antics when the kid(s) are sleeping. Especially Char... she still stomps around like a dinosaur when baby bro is taking a snooze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054449 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 16:52:59 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 2054449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also live in a small house and when he was a baby, we would totally tip toe around - if my husband was too loud I would freak out because I was so sensitive about his sleep. Now we are less careful and I hope I can relax for the next one, since I know Liam won't be doing much tip toeing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-creep-around-the-house-when-lo-is-sleeping#post-2054445 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 16:49:57 +0000 blackbird 2054445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we aren't exactly making a ton of noise between 730 and 9, either. That's pretty much TV and bedtime for us! Hopefully E's white noise machine can stifle #2's crying </p>
