question for those who have bub in a bassinette in their room and your DH/DP

DP was banished to an inflatable mattress for the first 9 months of DSs life. It was mostly out of necessity. DP has to be up for work at 4am, and DS was a shocking sleeper. After he realised I was spending the night on the couch after the 1am feed, DP nicely just removed himself from the bedroom so DS and I could just share the big bed. I wasn't doing it so as not to disturb him though, it was more a case of passing out from sheer exhaustion and figuring there's no point getting into bed to have to get up 50 million times....... lol. It was bliss, really once DS and I took over the master suite hehe. I missed snuggling up with DP but we all got a lot more sleep this way.

Very similar to PRMG - DS was in our room for about 5 months and I would take him and me into the lounge room to feed (we had our rocking chair there), turn the heater on (winter baby) and as we generally needed to do a nappy change mid feed or straight after I had to get out of bed anyway. I also needed to sit properly in a chair to feed otherwise my back would hurt if I wasn't properly supported.
DH rarely woke when DS did after the first few weeks, like Santosha said they do tend to tune out when they know they dont need to respond to the cries.
DS always used to settle back to sleep very quickly after a feed, so it was rare that I was up for more than about 30 mins anyway so it worked for us all

Wake DH? I think not.

DD 7m is in our bed and even though she pushes him out of the bed LOL he hardly wakes up.
For the first 4-6 weeks she was in the bassinet and i got her out to feed and put her back to bed but now its easier that she is in our bed and still waking constantly through the night.

What's selfish about that?
You do what you need to do with your baby. Your DH can either sleep through it or sleep elsewhere (or help)
