Do any other mamas have sleepwalking husband’s? Mine hasn’t done it in over a year then last night, he gets up ( there’s a way about him standing up I know he’s sleepwalking ), and I watched him. He went into our daughter’s room (she’s seven months old, and we are sleep training; the littlest things wake her up). He just stood there for a couple of seconds and walked out. I did not sleep the rest of the night cause I was terrified he would go pick her up and drop her or something.

That scares me. They make medicine for sleep walkers, I would consult with the doctor.

Put an alarm on your bedroom door that goes off when opened. It will wake him.

I don’t have a spouse that does but I did when I was younger and out grew it. Now my daughter who is seven does. It is terrifying. We have put alarms on all doors, and installed cameras that buzz if there is any activity.

My son sometimes sleep walks and he tried to walk out the front door. My bedroom door is next to the front door so we just put a bell on it. He doesnt get out because its locked top.
I sleep walk and clean sometimes. Sounds nice but I’ve ruined things spraying bleach on them and then wiping in different location. I also can’t seem to see dead bolts in doors so all our outside doors are deadbolts.
My husband has had dreams where he can’t find me and yells for me in different languages (he speaks like 6 languages) and hugs me super tight muttering in languages I don’t know. Sometimes I have to wake him to loosen his grip because I can barely breath.

My oldest sleep walks and in our last house went down the stairs a few times so we got a really good kids gate and he would walk up to it and turn back around. Maybe put a gate up in her doorway or yours

My ex-husband used to sleep walk and it is very scary indeed, he would take stuff out of the fridge and put it in the bathtub, try to climb out windows (we lived on the second floor of an apt building) if i tried to grab him he would start screaming, luckily it was just us two so no babies around, i would let him do his thing just make sure he didnt hurt himself

That’s scary 
Hopefully you can help him in some kind of way.
Baby gate on your door or the babys
Maybe baby gates for your room and babies room, alarms?, consulting with a doctor if it keeps happening, set up cameras to see he continues to sleep walk.
I would lock the baby’s door. I sleepwalk myself, but just every few years. I OFTEN feel a great need while I am dreaming to leave my house. I remember my sleepwalking dreams and wake myself up from them. So lock baby’s door to best protect her from him perhaps trying to pick her up when he’s asleep.
These comments are so terrifying. My daughter sleep walked but only a few times and she was around 3 maybe 4.
Yes. Mine opened the front door and told the dog to go out in the middle of the night. Luckily I was on the couch and opened the door and the the dog came back
My grand daughter is 10 and she sleep walks . Is terrifying to me . One time she popped of try bed when we were sleeping talking in her own language and stood at the ledge of the foot on bed ( it’s a pretty high king ) with both arms up at her side and just threw her self down hurting her head on the dresser . Another time I saw her walk into my room she grabbed an old camcorder bag hugged it and walked out with it . When asked about it the next day she couldn’t remember
I used to sleepwalk. I still do if I get sleep deprived enough. It was the worst when my older kids were babies, and I was working night shift. I would go outside, and smoke, and walk down the street dead asleep. I had to have family stay with me, it got so bad. Definitely, keep an eye on him, and get him in to see a doc.
How long have you been married to him?
Have you seen him sleep walk a lot before the year prior?
Do you have other kids with him?
Has he gone into their room a lot in the past when he slept walk at night if so?
That would make a radar go off as a mother for me seems weird…
Im a sleep walker/talker. Last week I was looking around the house for a bat with my phone light. Cant remember it at all.
My daughter has never been hurt by me. The worse thing I did was lie down next to her cot.
If your worried you can pop wind chimes above your door so if it opens you’ll wake up. Id also suggest flipping her door handle the other way so you have to lift it up rather then down. Him being asleep he probs wont register is tbh. You can get little “ding dong” magnetic door alarms for your door too which might wake you up.
Sounds like there may be an underlying anxiety which has triggered the sleep walking again. He may feel some hidden anxiety regarding the baby if that’s where he tends to go. Try talking to him about what may be bothering him. It may surprise you and maybe vocalising it might be enough to ease it
Depends because some sleepwalkers are really good at opening things my sister used to do it all the time when we were younger and when seeing the doctor regarding it we were told not to wake her incase we sent her into shock. One night she was around 12/13 we lived behind a graveyard and my dad woke to her opening the door and leaving he followed her she walked to the graveyard sat on the bench and walked home it’ was super creepy x
My dad has night terrors and sleep walks. Not a single thing my parents have ever done has prevented it. They do lock themselves in their bedroom at night. He has not managed to figure out how to unlock the door whilst asleep.
I will say sleep deprivation can exasperate your husbands sleep walking. I have heard of sleep deprived parents moving the baby into bed with them. I don’t think he would drop her but I would keep an eye on things.
My husband doesnt sleep walk but I do sometimes. I tend to go downstairs and walk around then back to bed. Have been know to go outside sometimes too.
My husband doesn’t, I had an episode the night of my son’s wedding. I slept walk for 6 hrs, was told I did very strange things. Was having conversations with people, I wouldn’t leave dog alone, would just babble on. Got my purse and was going to my mom’s house. My husband told me what I did, have no memory of any of it.
My hubby and teen use to.Try this…
I cook. I’ve woken to a full on kitchen of dishes cause I made a meal in my sleep. 
stress makes it worse
My husband walked in his sleep every night until he started using a cpap machine.
I am a sleep walker. I didn’t used to be… I feel like this usually stems from bad stress/anxiety/sleep deprivation.
Does he get less sleep from work or helping at night with the baby? Is this yalls first baby or first baby in quite a few years so maybe there’s a little added anxiety and stress for him?
I would put a bell or some kind of alarm on your bedroom door knob. The reason I say that is because its more likely to wake him up. Yes, its more likely to wake the baby to but it sounds like either way shes getting woken up… Locks, sleepwalkers can easily get through. So, even if you added locks to her door he would probably get through unless it was a lock that required a key that only you had the key too. Lastly, he should see a doctor. Although there are no ill intentions by us sleep walkers and we have absolutely NO IDEA what we are doing or when we did it… he can really injure himself. I was sleep walking in the kitchen, woke up suddenly 
, fell on the tile, and permanently injured 2 discs in my back. Good luck, I know its hard.
