It isn’t just the crying, the endless diaper changing and the constant feedings that can keep a mom awake — it’s also those adorable, gurgling, happy-baby noises! Whether your infant is awake making those cute noises and not sleeping at night or asleep and making the noises in her sleep, you’ll likely lose any chance of getting sleep. Both my husband and I are light sleepers, so we found that using a monitor wasn’t a good choice for us. The monitor that we had would pick up tiny little noises, and not ones that were cries of hunger or anything that really needed my attention. They were just simple, little baby noises and I didn’t get any sleep because of it. Our baby’s nursery was right next to our room, so I would turn the monitor off and leave both of the bedroom doors open. When my baby cried, I would hear it and get up and feed her or change her diaper or give her a burp. Many parents have monitors and video monitors, and they can work great, but the key is finding one that is sensitive enough to pick up on the crying noises and not just every little gurgle.
