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

[Novella]

DH is a light sleeper and has to get up at 4 .30 for work so he is sleeping in the spare room for now. DD3 is really noisy too but I'm tuned into her now and can sleep through the general noise and wake up to the important noises. Sometimes DH sleeps with us but puts ear plugs in. I turn the Wadrobe light on with the door almost shut to see for nappy changes. The first feed I do on the lounge as dd is liely to settle better if we sit up a big before bed and I get lazy in bed and don't sit up straight enough. The only light we use in the lounge though is from my iPad.

Phebee feeding lying down I don't put bubs on the edge of the bed I can feed with both bb's while facing the same direction. I normally lie on my side and feed the bb closest to the mattress then roll my top shoulder a bit and feed with my top bb ITMS maybe having a bit of a sag in the boobs after three kids helps

I didn't even think about it. If DH needed sleep he knew where to go to get it. He is an adult and wasn't breastfeeding. My tiny baby was my first concern. A nightlight helped with nighttime nappy changes. It was snowing outside when DS was tiny...I was not leaving my warm bedroom for any reason!!!

Dp didn't even stir unless I kicked him, repeatedly! After a week or so I didn't even bother trying to get him up to help, so he slept through pretty much everything. He can still sleep through the girls crying during the night.

DP doesn't stir unless I physically try to wake him and we co-sleep but don't change nappies overnight unless DD2 does a poo (I just use a size bigger nappy) which she hasn't done since she was a few weeks old. She never really cries or anything, just sort of stirs and then I attach her till she settles again without DP even noticing.

My DH was used to sleeping through things as he is a shiftworker.. I used to be up for an hr with a non-settling bub, and it wasn't until I would go back in and physically rock/tap him he would wake up.. The baby could've been squealing in his ear if I didn't wake him.. But he was totally different if I was in another room though, he would wake to baby.

Yep same here! He would often wake in the morning and ask "how was your night dear?"

I kept the bassinet in the room for convenience to start with. I preferred to get up and get out of the room to feed and change baby. I like the peace and quiet of the night out in my lounge, I had the change table all set up, I didn't have music, TV or anything. It was also light enough to see what I was doing.
