About 5 out of 7 nights I will go in before I go to bed and cover them up. There's something about seeing them so cute and snuggled up after they've whined and fought all day! Do you physically go in and check on your LO at night or do you just use the monitor?
-
I usually check on them, unless I just pass out in bed first!
-
We both check on him every night before we go to bed (D goes later than me). He always kicks his covers off of the bed )(without fail), so we both tuck him back in.
-
yep - always!
-
I do before I go to bed.
-
Nope, I do not disturb them when they are sleeping! Ever!
-
always! can't help myself.
-
Yup, I check on him when I go up to bed and cover him up. Lately he's been waking in the middle of the night and calling for me to come cover him up again too.
-
She sleeps next to me
-
I didn't used to, but in the past month I've started going on. He sleeps with a cup of water that leaks if it's left upside down so I find that and make sure it's upright, and then just watch him sleep for a minute. Every night it's a fight not to pick him up, though, because he's so little and sweet that I just want to hug him.
-
I used to! but DH painted the bedroom doors and now they stick and make a HORRIBLE loud cracking noise. so no more sneaking in for me. it's so obnoxiously loud gah!
-
I never used to, but now I creep in each night when we go to bed and put some books in his cot for him to look at in the morning (if they are there when he goes to bed he will just spend hours reading them). I love to see him sleeping!
-
I can see DD2 from bed (the nursery adjoins the master). DD1 I check on when I go to bed and open her door for the night.
-
Typically, yes. My husband does the last bit in her room so I like to make sure she's still there before I go to bed.
-
Yes. M puts her to bed, I like to peek in on her before I go to bed.
-
Yes, I try to. I love seeing them sleeping so soundly.
-
Yes!
-
Yes...all the time but he's only 3 months
-
Always! I go in every night before I go to bed and love seeing their sweet faces all snuggled up in their blankets.....makes my heart melt!
-
Every night before bed I check on both kids and always give the older a kiss. The younger I would kiss but I'm afraid to wake him up : )
-
No way. I swear sometimes they start to stir if I just walk by their door. It's like they can sense my tantalizing milk smell in their vicinity. When we were sleep training I made DH go in sometimes after they fell asleep to make sure they were breathing and didn't have a stuffed animal too close to their face.
-
NO WAYYYY!!! Our house is 110 years old ... the floors creak, and doors are so loud. I value my sleep way too much.
We have a sound monitor, which is good enough for me.
I will say though, with the next baby, I MIGHT get a video monitor for periodic checks. I am totally the mom who (still at 21 months) assumes she's died in her sleep if she's not awake by 7:30. That's so horrible to say, but I'm serious. I make DH go check on her in the mornings.
-
Are you crazy? He might wake up! He's a light sleeper and already winds up in our bed most nights as it is.
-
Yup. Right before I go to bed to make sure she's not facing the wrong way and to get books out of her bed, and at least once when I get up to pee I'll go cover her back up.
-
@LulaBee: What's facing the wrong way?
I am seriously impressed by deep sleeping kids. If I even walk by her door, LO would be like, "I'm up and ready to play for at least 5 hours!!"
-
Sometimes! We don't have a monitor any more (it broke!) so I do a few times a week if I'm feeling like I miss him. haha
-
Yes, to cover her back up or move her back to the top of the bed if she's at the foot. Her room runs cold.
-
Yes! We check on her every night. Half the time we have to move her cause she is laying half off the bed.
-
Sometimes! To cover her up, or to take toys/books out of her bed.
-
@littlejoy: Like, if her head is at the foot of the bed and she's on top of the covers. She's in a twin bed. But would probably sleep fine the "wrong" way if I would let her.
-
@LulaBee: My kid could be on the floor, and wouldn't risk it, lol.
-
@littlejoy: I don't blame you! DD didn't STTN until 21 months but seems to be a pretty solid sleeper now.
-
I have to touch them to make sure they're still breathing before I can go to bed. I know it's a bit crazy but I get paranoid. Plus, they're just so adorable when they're sleeping.
-
@littlejoy: Lol @ "I'm up and ready to play for at least five hours"!! This is why I'm afraid to check on him in person.
I use the monitor and only go in to physically check if I'm worried for some reason.
-
Hell no!!! I'm not risking a wake up. I'm a monitor maniac though
-
Yes - usually before I go
To bed. -
I'd say 3 or 4 nights a week I look in on him. he is just so stinkin cute when he sleeps! I love to peek in and see him and it takes every fiber of my being not to reach out and touch him
I'm too afraid to wake him though.
-
We usually only go in there if DH gets home after she went to bed. He wants to check on her and always asks me to go with him.
-
NOPE. My kids are both light sleepers and will wake up if I even try to crack the door open. We have a video monitor, so I check on them both through that before bed.
-
Yup! But I have to change D and top of his formula multiple times at night, so it's more than just peeking
