I feel like I have PTSD from B's sleeping habits

Sonadora

It's sort of crazy. Even when she is not awake I wake multiple times at night and I would honestly swear on my life that I had heard her cry.

But really, I'm just dreaming it, reliving it in my nightmares. Isn't that a sign of PTSD? lol

(It happens even when I've been away for the night. In a hotel many thousands of miles away...)

I totally hear phantom baby cries. Usually during the day though!

Dude.  It doesn't surprise me.  Sustained sleeplessness is an enhanced interrogation technique for a reason, my friend.

I too hear phantom baby cries, but also during the day.  Also I hear them in the shower which makes me really sad when its my only time alone.

 Could it be real sometimes when you're home?  S sometimes just lets out a random shriek in her sleep?  As for the hotel sleep-that just makes me sad for you.

Possibly. But last night, I swear I heard her cry, opened my eyes, looked at the clock, saw it was 4:42, "listened" for ten minutes, then woke H up and told him he needed to go tend to the baby because she was crying and he sat up to listen and told me I'd lost my mind, she wasn't making a sound. He was not pleased that I woke him up.

Bust. Maybe you need to take a benadryl so you can have a chance to STTN the night and see if that can kick start a habit? Make your H be on duty?

Yes!  I've said this multiple times about DD's sleep (or lack thereof) and what it did to me.  We ended up doing Ferber at 7 months because I was starting to have panic attacks every night because I didn't know how many times I was going to be up.  And every time she would make a sound at night, I would jump.  Sucks.
