| here's my theory...
a friend and father recently told me "my kids started sleeping thru the night when I started sleeping thru the night..." sounds cruel, but he has a point... men tend to be deeper sleepers and more able to sleep through baby noises whereas we mommies are much more sensitive and feel a burning need to reach out and hold our babies when we hear them whimper or cry. generally men are much deeper sleepers than women. maybe they are onto something...!?
how's that for an answer to your question? i don't think your babies are not waking when your hubbies are on duty... i just think your dear hubbies are not hearing them and then the little ones just go back to sleep on their own. i know when my hub is "on duty" (i use that quote very loosely!) i ALWAYS am the one to jump up and attend to the night wakings - simply b/c i hear baby first and my darling husband, who is a great father btw, does NOT!!
