Phantom Crying
« on: May 30, 2011, 01:35:19 am »
Anyone else plagued with phantom crying?  I swear, I spend half the night (and part of the day) straining my ears listening for crying that doesn't exist.  We have a baby monitor and sometimes even when there is no noise coming out of it I am so positive that the baby is crying that I will get out of bed and put my ear on the door to his room.  I am not overly protective- all three kids went straight to cribs in their rooms when they got home from the hospital.  And I don't go running at the first whimper.  But the phantom crying has me going crazy!!  And it is worse when the baby is having a tough night and waking more than usual.  He will cry and I will deal with him and then go back to bed and every time I close my eyes I will hear his cries and go to get up only to realize he is quiet.  Please tell me that I am not completely insane (yet).   ;)

Totally not insane!  I thought I was the only one!  I often accuse the monitor of malfunctioning ;)  And I swear I wake to a baby cry during the night... but then I listen and there is nothing!

Normal :)

That must be it!  If we didn't have much concern for the LO, we wouldn't be worried that they were calling out for us ;)

Thanks ladies, it is good to know that it is not just me.  I fear tonight will be a bad night for phantom crying.  The baby is sick with a pretty decent temp and so I am already jumping at every little noise.  :'(

Its all of us I think. I'm constantly hearing my LO cry when he is sleeping soundly.
