Does anyone else experience this?I feel like it’s some kind of ptsd and I can’t switch off. My wife and I are a month in with our newborn, I’m confident that we are doing everything right. He sleeps well, feeds well and is generally happy when he is awake.My wife and I are doing shifts at the moment, 1 will get 4-5 hours sleep in bed and away from any interruptions while the other is on the sofa with the baby monitor and camera screen close by. And in the day time we usually grab an hours sleep cuddling on the sofa together.When it’s my turn alone on the sofa and it’s like 3am and I’m trying to nod off for an hour, literally everything sounds like the baby is crying in the other room and I think the monitor must be broken, so I look at the camera and see that he’s sound asleep.That’s when it’s most noticeable, but then through the day time when I’m doing the housework and the washing machine is going, the fans are on, the ac is running and probably the tv will be in too, like every other sound I hear triggers my parenting sense and I think I can hear him crying.Am I going mad or is this common among parents? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PA2p2t
