That would probably be part of it. I'm doing about 95% of the night wakings still. The other night Dh was like wow, he slept from midnight to 7? Uh no, he was up from 2-3, didn't you hear that? Nope.
You should trade him in and upgrade.
and assuming he meant DH, what I really don't get is how DH doesn't hear it. Like, that night baby fussed and woke up, I got him and I think I changed his diaper then too. So he was crying a bit during that and DH didn't hear it? JFC, the kid breathes loudly and I wake up. But I can have him on the bed crying 18 inches from DH and he doesn't notice.
Mother's instinct.
Actually, though, it amazed me as well. As a teenager and young adult, I used to sleep like a log. When my boys were infants, I would wake up if one of them rolled over or sighed. My ex NEVER heard them. I did all the night stuff. I was basically a zombie for the first couple of months, but I was lucky and they both started "sleeping through the night" (~5 hours) at 2-3 months old.
My sleep patterns didn't improve until they were gone from the house and on their own as adults. For about 10 years I got solid sleep at night. Now...I have old lady sleep patterns.

I feel like my entire life was preparing me to be able to sleep through babies making noise at night. I never heard anything.
Welcome to motherhood. My mom would wake up if we turned on the oven at night to heat something under the broiler. She said she could smell it.

It’s cute that women think that dads don’t hear kids. We hear them, it’s the wives telling us to handle it that we don’t.

I mean, I get sleeping through the fussing. But crying next to you? My child is not a sweet crier. As the daycare teacher said "he's not a very patient baby when he's hungry, is he" lol no, he escalates 0-60 in about two cries.
When our oldest was born, she would start crying at night and I'd get up and the vixen would say, "Where are you going?" I'd say to pick up the baby. She's say, "She's alright. She'll stop in a little bit.
How she knew this totally escaped me. Other times the girls would start the "hungry" cry and she'd get right up.
Part of being a mother, I guess.

ok, so now I'm annoyed. When I came back from leave, I had to sort out how many hours of time off I had available. Pre-baby, I was told I would stop earning them at some point during leave, to restart when I came back. So you guys know me, I had a spreadsheet with this figured out to the nth degree. I came back and it was off by a couple days and I asked them to verify that the number was correct before I started plugging everything in. To me, it looked like they kept accruing after they said I would stop, giving me two extra days compared to my spreadsheet. But, they literally made changes to that system weeks before I was out so maybe that was something they hadn't told us yet - that's typical. I get an email back saying, yep, the number there is accurate, confirmed by payroll. So I start entering based on that.
So today I'm double checking as year end approaches and I'm using a bunch next week. Now those two "extra" days, I used over the last two Fridays. I'm looking and I'm two days short now, wtf. I go back and look and now it looks like they took out those two days. But I've already used them - because I'm NOT coming in next week, nope. The good thing is I was planning to roll them over to use in Jan/Feb so it doesn't really impact specific dates but I was planning to have them in my pocket for inevitable sick baby days the next couple months. I mean, it's not the end of the world but it's just super frustrating that I did my due diligence, get confirmation that I was good to go, and now it'll be well we messed up but you still get shorted.

I used to kinda think that was bunk or especially being able to recognize your own baby's cry among a group of infants. First pickup I did, I walked by the infant room and I'm like hmm that sounds like my baby crying. Get my shoes off and go in.......sure enough, it was mine.
Once in a great while, little man will do the cry that I know he'll sort himself out and stop. But that's like maybe 1/30 times.
Hey, if you can tell me where that article is (the intelligent one) great. I’ll send to DD and SIL to reassure them about the early little one. She often sleeps on people during the day.
Oh man, that was our life for a while.
Think I ready it here so not super scientific and I can't find the original study. Whatever, I choose to believe

And besides - you should know this with your experience with cows & calves...Nope. Not bunk!
The calves typically sounded the same to me except for differences based on age. Like I could tell it was a newborn calf vs. a three month old. But if you mean with the dams, we didn't typically have the calves within earshot of them. And a lot of the times, if a calf was in the milking barn making noise for food.........several cows would answer back
