Does anyone sleep with earplugs?
My son is 11 weeks old and generally sleeps from 8:30 PM to about 5 AM, sometimes waking up for comfort and going right back to sleep with a pacifier. He sleeps in a bassinet right next to my side of the bed.
My question is - does anyone sleep with earplugs in? Baby is sleeping great but between his grunting, cooing, leg slamming, etc and my husband’s freight train-esque snoring on my other side, I’M the one struggling to sleep.
I want to try earplugs but I’m afraid I won’t be able to hear baby if he needs me, especially because he’s got bad reflux and sometimes gags in his sleep. I’ve also jumped out of bed before because I thought (in reality, I’m 99% sure I was dreaming or hallucinating) that baby was choking on spit up.
I’m really afraid I won’t hear him but I was up just trying to sleep through the noise last night for almost two hours!!
