DS grunted and squawked like a pterodactyl in his sleep, and I eventually started sleeping through it, only waking for full on cries. Enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771538 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:19:53 +0000 blackbird 1771538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's breastfeeding--I think you just start to unconsciously know what is an important sound is and what isn't. Or you just are SO tired that you sleep through more of it! At least for me, I felt like it took more noise for me to come out of it...which was good and bad. And even now, it takes a full on cry/wail for me to wake up, and half the time, I fall back asleep and only barely remember that maybe? she woke up? It's really fuzzy to me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771369 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 10:39:53 +0000 Mae 1771369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so maybe it's not a breastfeeding thing but a coincidence-- but I am definitely sleeping through her peeps now! I don't think she is being quieter bc the other night she busted out of her swaddle sack in the most awkward way and scooted across her bassinet and I had no idea! I only wake up when she cries now. It's so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771316 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 10:21:03 +0000 Mamasig 1771316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You didn't lose the sixth sense! And it doesn't come from Breastfeeding - it's from being a mama. I have it and my sons are formula fed. I think after a while you become a bit more accustomed to their noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771291 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 10:12:11 +0000 MapleMoose 1771291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lucky you! Enjoy it! I began pumping while LO was still in our room and I still woke to every rustle, peep, tiny movement, everything. I'm just an extremely light sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771238 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:57:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1771238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: enjoy the sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771230 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:54:24 +0000 Anagram 1771230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't sleep better until my LO was in her own room at 6 months--at actually, at that point her sleep was still awful so I'm gonna say I didn't start sleeping well till about 2 weeks ago when she finally started STTN occasionally.</p> <p>But yeah, I wasn't breastfeeding and I still woke up every time she coughed, made a noise, moved, turned on her side, etc.. Sadly, my husband also woke up every time, and we would have long whisper conversations about the state of LOs awakeness several times a night. Fun times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771204 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:48:21 +0000 looch 1771204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You did not loose the sixth sense, absoultely do not go down that rabbit hole. You will have plenty of opportunities to exhibit your abilities to understand what your LO is going through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771198 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:46:18 +0000 loveisstrange 1771198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Her every movement woke me up. All of us slept better after we moved her into her crib.</p> <p>As for the "sixth sense", I absolutely have that with C and she is and has (pretty much) always been FF. I have that to the point where she is 27 months old and I have to wear earplugs at night and she STILL wakes me up, through 2 closed doors. I can hear her when no one else can. I can hear her across the house over me watching a show and my husband playing video games. I think that is some straight nonsense meant to perpetuate the "breastfeeding is so SUPER SPESHUL and our babies love us so much more/are more bonded" BS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-quit-breastfeeding-before-you-moved-lo-out-of-your-room#post-1771174 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:39:27 +0000 Mae 1771174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you start sleeping better? I had read a few places that breastfeeding moms have some sort of extra bond/sense of their kid and wake more easily to all their tiny noises. Until I had to stop breastfeeding her last week I would wake up 5+ times/night... seemingly every time she grunted or whined, even when she wasn't awake. Now that I'm just pumping for her I realized that I've been sleeping through until she actually wakes up! </p> <p>On one hand I'm feeling better rested because I'm clearly sleeping deeper. On the other I'm a little bummed that I lost that sixth-sense with her-- and it worries me a little bit because I think that is sort of why they say room sharing helps prevent sids-- because you wake up so easily to their movements. But there is really nothing I can do about it since I can't breastfeed her and she's already sleeping in a bassinet within arms reach of my side of the bed. </p> <p>Did anyone else notice this happening? Or is it just me? </p>
