We also have an air purifier in our room that gives some nice white noise and prevents small noises on the baby monitor from waking me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227855 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 14:28:20 +0000 catlady 2227855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I used to switch off on who got to wear ear plugs at night (or for which stretch of the night). It definitely helped us sleep better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227805 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 13:43:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2227805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear earplugs off and on and I've never had a problem hearing LO when she needed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227477 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 09:18:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2227477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear earplugs every night. I am a light sleeper. I can still hear my kids if they are crying or even just babbling but it helps dampen noise so i can fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227384 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 08:02:24 +0000 FaithFertility 2227384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your ok, I realized that if DD cries in her room, the cry as come get me I hear her instantly....so the monitor is on but volume is off, I just started doing this and we both sleep much better!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227295 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 00:55:49 +0000 Cherrybee 2227295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's fine! I wear earplugs to minimize the impact of DH's snoring. I can still hear E when she wakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227289 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 00:14:18 +0000 daniellemybelle 2227289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're totally fine! We just don't use a monitor at all anymore. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227288 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 00:07:15 +0000 Astro Bee 2227288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a super light sleeper, and has worn earplugs ever since he started college over 15 yrs ago. He still does now that we have Q. He is normally the one that will wake up first and get him (and bring him to me if he's hungry) if he starts crying, but he's able to sleep through the normal sleep noises. No need to feel bad, a well-rested parent is better able to see to their child's needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227247 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:51:26 +0000 lady grey 2227247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its okay! I'm a super light sleeper and have slept with earplugs most of my LOs life. I still wake up if he is really crying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227229 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:20:13 +0000 blackbird 2227229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We turn the volume of the monitor off. </p> <p>I wore earplugs a TON with E. And I have a newborn now and sleep with one earplug at night to drown out his grunts and little noises that keep me up.</p> <p>No big deal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227223 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:10:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2227223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear earplugs every night because I'm a light sleeper. I still hear the girls when they wake but it gives me a little help staying asleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227220 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:05:51 +0000 mrbee 2227220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msplatypus: It's totally fine!!</p> <p>You could also maybe turn down the volume of the monitor a bit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earplugs-at-night#post-2227219 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:03:47 +0000 msplatypus 2227219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So lo is 8 months old and sleeps in her room in a crib. She mostly sttn but can be loud and will sometimes babble. We have a video monitor and it is by my husband. Ever since moving her to her room at 4 months I've had trouble. I watch the monitor and wake up at ever cough, sneeze, and roll. So I started wearing ear plugs. I can still hear her cry but it helps me sleep. I feel so guilty. Basically I'm looking for people to tell me it's okay, and I'm not doing anything wrong. </p>
