[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid slept through without a noise machine. There's a reason fire alarm companies are e[b]xperimenting with alarms that feature a recording of the mom's voice calling the child's name.[/b] Young children are hard to wake up. For us the bedtime juggle with two was a bigger challenge.[/quote] Wow, really?[/quote] DP here, yes, this is not new. in fact, even adults respond faster to another person calling their names than a smoke alarm beeping. it has something to do with sound frequency and voice recognition (especially during sleep cycles). OP- unless your 4 yr old is a super light sleeper I wouldn't worry. Having a baby sibling can make transition tough, so consider prefacing it with a "warning". Something like "You may hear Baby cry during the night sometimes. No worries though. Either me or Daddy are on the way to getting up and feeding him/her. Just go back to sleep".[/quote]
