Do you ever wake up JUST before you children stir?

Question

Do you ever wake up just before your kid(s), like you are connect in a weird way?

I always woke up just before my daughter would wake for a breastfeed and this morning i woke up and about 3 secs later she opened her bedroom door, there is no way i could of heard her getting out of bed because we both have fans in our rooms which are VERY noisy!!!

Do any other parents have experiences like this? I find it quite amazing.

Answer 1

Yeah i have a lot of times. I don't know what it is but it is more than likely just a coincidence. It does seem really strange though doesn't it.

Answer 2

wow, yes this happens to me all the time. so much so that like you said, if he doesnt wake up with me i will panic, go and check on him and end up waking him up by accident anyway...lol. its strange isnt it. maybe mothers have some kind of subconcious connection, like identical twins apparently have...you never know. i would say its happend too many times to me for it to be a coincidence. x

Answer 3

yes its one of those weird psychic connection things...

Answer 4

Yeah, before my daughter started sleeping through I would wake up moments before she started to wake for her night feed.

Answer 5

Yes!! All the time!! The annoying thing is, when my sons decide to have a lie-in i wake up at their usual time & wait for them getting up instead of having a sleep-in myself!

Answer 6

Yeah, I do it sometimes. I wake up and I'll hear my Daughter start to grunt and start to wake up for a feed.
