There are a couple days that he does but typically he'll doze right back off. It's more me getting out of bed that wakes him then anything since we cosleep.</p> <p>My cats on the other hand know the alarm... and come sit outside my door waiting for breakfast....</p> <p>And I'm one of the hit the snooze button to many time type of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2783698 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:09:08 +0000 cake2017 2783698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try to set an alarm on your phone?

I think if you're quick to turn it off, you should be good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651333 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:36:31 +0000 ElbieKay 2651333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2.5 and often wakes up at like 4am and sleeps with me the rest of the night. He pretty much always sleeps through my alarm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651290 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 11:22:14 +0000 MrsBrewer 2651290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how old your twins are, but we kept my DD in our room until she was 3-4 months old, and DH always had the alarm set for himself for work in the mornings. Plus he would hit to snooze once or twice! DD would always sleep through it. </p> <p>Maybe get a quieter alarm? Also probably depends on how your LO's sleep. We have 2 dogs at home, and she was already used to sleeping through the dogs barking, so she can easily tune things out when she sleeps. I say give it a go if you want to keep room sharing with them, and if you notice it disrupts their their sleep, maybe move into bed with your DH after the 1AM feeding as you suggested! It will all probably be trial and error once you start getting into a new routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651236 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:36:13 +0000 meadow 2651236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently room share with my twins in that I sleep on a twin bed in their room while they are in their cribs. My husband is in the adjacent (master) bedroom. I am returning to work soon and nervous about our morning routine. As of right now, I get up when the twins get up. For work, I plan to set my alarm for 4am and get the babies up around 5:15 to nurse/get ready then out the door for daycare by 6am.</p> <p>My fear is - they will wake up with my alarm instead of sleeping through. I'm not ready to stop room sharing entirely. One option, is to go sleep with my husband after their MOTN feeding around 1am.</p> <p>I know that every baby is different.....but just curious if anyone who room shares (their room or nursery) found that the baby didn't wake up to their alarm clock? Or baby woke up and I should plan for the alternate scenario....</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
