Dad's alarm waking baby

My baby sleeps through my husbands alarms at the minute, but I don't, and I was getting really annoyed by the 4-5 snooze before he was eventually getting out of bed. The first time I had had enough I told him to get up or I was going to throw his phone out the window, which would have been fairly easy as it was wide open 🤣 that resulted in just 1 snooze now and he usually get up when his first alarm goes off now.

Glad I'm not the only one 🤣 it will be him getting thrown out the window if it happens maybe more times

My baby sleeps through the night which is great, but she barely sleeps during the day and requires lots of attention in between feeding and changing and attempting to nap, etc. So even though I'm getting a full night's sleep, I'm still exhausted, and I'm not willing to mess up my sleep for a grown adult. Babies are allowed to mess up your sleep.

I’d be telling him to sleep in the spare room or on the sofa on those days 😂

If he snoozes the alarm so many times he clearly doesn't need to be up at 4am so why not just set it for the time he actually needs to wake and he will literally get extra sleep and can jump out of bed when the alarm sounds first time. If he says he is too tired then he needs an earlier bed time surely? Stop waking the baby or soon on your days you don't need to be up at 4am will start at 4am cause of the snoozing alarms.

We've had a few arguments over the alarm 😅 sets it at 5am to leave for 6am 🥴 think he sets it for 5:20 now...

I think this might be a male thing because my husband sets so many alarms and it drives me crazy 😂😂😂

My partner regularly has to set 4.40am alarms for work, he also often sets 5am alarms to go to the gym if he’s on a later start at work. He absolutely wouldn’t dare snooze the alarm once let alone 5 times!! It’s very inconsiderate for baby but also for you as it starts your day off with baby on more broken sleep than is necessary. If my partner was insistent on snoozing I’d make him sleep in another room so we weren’t disturbed, sure a few nights on the sofa would make him rethink his snoozing!! X

I'm going to say he does the early feed or sleeps in the spare room on his early days thanks ladies. He did get in at 8pm last night so it's not his fault he's so tired but babies sleep comes first!

Honestly, I would use the guilt trip on him. It’s selfish. Sorry to insult. But it is. Sleep is precious to you and the baby. And constantly waking the baby so he gets more time in bed is putting himself first.

Has he got a smart watch? As that can buzz on his wrist instead.

In regard to feeling bad if you ask him to do the feed. Don’t. You take care of a tiny human all day and that is a huge job. You need your sleep more in my opinion.

Thank you now I feel less selfish needing sleep! ❤️
