Can you use loop earplugs when you have a baby?

My baby is 12 weeks old and he's such n active sleeper n is constantly making noise all night and if not him it's my husband who snores so loudly n so does my dog and we all share 1 room n I'm in the middle of husband and baby so no matter which way I face there is a loud irritating noise. My baby sleeps through the night so I should be sleeping to but I can't because every sleeps so loudly. I was looking a loop earplugs to cancel out the noise but is this unsafe to do with the baby, I'm not sure how noise cancelling they are and I'm worried that if he cries or something bad happens I won't hear it but at the same time I'm gonna cry because I haven't had a good night's sleep forever. Anyone got the quiet loop earplugs and a baby. Any advice in general is appreciated

I don’t have advice for the loops but I usually use my AirPods with some music in at low volume (just enough to barely hear hubby snore) and only put it one at a time since I’m a side sleeper I’ll have it in one whichever side isn’t in the pillow, that way if baby cries I’ll still hear it muffled through the pillow and AirPod. plus they usually fall out of my ears 10 minutes later so I’m able to fall asleep and stay asleep (active sleep and snoring don’t wake me up but they don’t let me fall asleep) and then have full capability to hear any crying

I love my loops. You can still hear but its not as loud. They help so much with just everything. I can't see why not. As long as you find them comfy to sleep in or whatever

Not sure on the loops but with my dog being a very loud snorer and baby being an active sleeper i just use my AirPods and i still hear him cry when he wakes for a feed

I used my loops. They don’t cancel the noise, they just dull it. So you’ll hear cries but not snuffles and smaller sleep noises xx

My husband bought me a headphone headband. It's so comfortable. I listen to audiobooks when falling asleep. Helps quiet my anxiety. I could still hear baby boy crying.

I use loops at night, was anxious to do so at first but now i can actually get some sleep 😅 youre still alert and can hear them but just a bit duller so you can sleep 💜

I sleep with one ear plug in (the ear facing upwards) and I always still hear baby :)

I wouldn’t wear the quiet ones. I wear those to sleep when it’s my turn to sleep in and don’t even wake when my toddler is shouting. I would feel more comfortable using the engage ones because they just muffle the noise
