Fitbit is a great idea, but an expensive investment just for the vibrating alarm.

Baby and I never even heard it while I was on maternity leave and would sleep blissfully! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600354 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:53:00 +0000 nana87 2600354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only room-shared for 1 month with lo, but we have rarely needed an alarm clock at all (aside from our "baby/toddler alarm clock!") since she was born over 2 years ago, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600350 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:45:45 +0000 catlady 2600350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously it depends on how early your DH needs to be up, but we didn't need an alarm clock for close to 2 years with our LO. Even now, she is often up before us, and our alarm is always set for 6am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600329 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:14:24 +0000 snowjewelz 2600329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never needed an alarm clock in the 20 months we've co-slept, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600327 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:11:55 +0000 Corduroy 2600327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, baby has been our alarm clock for the past year. I'd love to wake up to my 6am alarm again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600320 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 08:06:21 +0000 Chillybear 2600320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a fitbit charge HR and set my alarm through that. It vibrates and actually does wake me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600277 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 01:28:22 +0000 Cherrybee 2600277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a huge problem in our house. DH's alarm has always woken E up, even in the next room. The baby can sleep through it (and the hairdryer, the drawer slamming and everything else he does), but E wakes the baby. So we are all up at 6.30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600247 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 21:15:33 +0000 Coffee-lover 2600247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bedshare, and the initial alarm does not wake our daughter up. If we hit the snooze, she will usually wake up the second time it goes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600239 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 20:28:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2600239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: we are in the same boat. I'm thinking a low alarm and then follow up with a loud alarm for later when he's awake just in case. I don't remember it being an issue in the past though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600237 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 20:11:00 +0000 stiletto_mom 2600237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the input everyone!</p> <p>I think hubby will just choose a soft starting melody and turn it off as he gets up. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600232 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 20:07:08 +0000 FaithFertility 2600232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby never woke he hahad his cell alarm, even at 19 months if she makes her way to our bed, she still doesn't wake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600228 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 19:57:37 +0000 Ms. RV 2600228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used my regular alarm (cell phone, 80% volume). It never woke LO up. She slept through a fire drill, too. She is almost a year and still sleeps through alarm clocks. I think some babies are just programmed to ignore things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600218 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 19:16:02 +0000 Cole 2600218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bedshare and my husband uses an alarm and it's almost never been an issue. He uses a sound that's not too abrasive which helps. You could try a vibrating alarm with something else set for a few minutes later as a back up while you're figuring it out too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600209 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:45:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 2600209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - we just use our cell phones for alarms and never had a problem waking LO. We bed shared, so even closer proximity and no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600207 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:42:29 +0000 Golden 2600207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband set his cell phone alarm on low or vibrate. The baby typically would wake around 5am, nurse, and then be sound asleep when hubby woke up at 6:30 for work. I don't think he ever woke the baby up actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-shared-a-room-with-baby-did-you-set-an-alarm-for-work#post-2600203 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:35:23 +0000 stiletto_mom 2600203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I will be sharing room with baby. He will need an alarm for work and cannot be late. We plan on having a white noise machine in the room, but do you think that's enough?</p> <p>How did you guys do it? </p>
