My fiancé doesn’t hear our 3 week old crying at night and it’s really starting to irritate me that he can sleep so hard he doesn’t hear him screaming crying every 3 hours. What should I do??

Wake him up if you want him up with the baby. They don’t have motherly instincts like us and some people just sleep harder than others. My son is about to be 2 he sleeps with us and his sister sleeps in the bassinet in our room, she could be screaming & he still won’t wake up

My husband sleeps through everything. The only way not to get frustrated is tell your partner what you need from him and let him know you’ll be waking him up to support you throughout the night. I’m sure he will be completely understanding.

Same! I literally push him until he wakes up and say “your baby is crying and needs you”!

Honestly I just got used to it. My man sleeps so hard that he'll straight up sit up, look me in the eye and have a conversation with me, and he's still 100% asleep and doesn't remember any of it in the morning. I do not need that taking care of our twins in the middle of the night 🤣 so I've always done bed time and throughout the night by myself, and he let's me take fat naps and let's me sleep in on the weekends! They're almost a year old and it was frustrating in the beginning, but then I woke him up to help me a few times and realized that was even worse than him continuing to sleep 🤣 good luck mama! I hope you find something that works for all of you(:

My partner is like this. We got an alarm for deaf people (bed shaker) that literally feels like an earthquake. I can press a button on my side of the bed and it does its thing and i loudly call his name simultaneously. Has worked so far. Though i have learned he is not actually awake and wont get the babies until he is physically standing up. Otherwise he will say "okay I'm getting up" and go right back to sleep

Well for me at the beginning of PP my bf pulled all nighters for me to sleep because he knew himself too well. 5 months in the way we handle nights is i still do the feeds but he has to get me my bottles for the feeds since we co-sleep. I get him up once my son starts moving to let me know hes getting hungry. Its still a struggle to get him up but he gets it done. We also do this cause he needs to sleep for his early waking job. Hopefully you guys find something like this to help where instead of just one person doing everything you can get dad to give you everything you need for the night wakes and you wont have a potential problem where ur husband falls asleep with yalls child.
