This won't be my first go-'round. We already have a two-year-old, so I already know all about the sleepless nights I'll have to endure those first few months.
However, last time I wasn't trying to juggle adjusting to a new CPAP with tending to a newborn's night wakings. I suspect I'll need to get a mask that can be taken off and put on quickly. Will this mess with my CPAP and its ability to auto adjust?
Anyone here gone through raising a newborn while trying to sleep with a CPAP? Can you offer any comments or advice on what it will be like?
What can I expect when my daughter is born later this year?

Re: What can I expect when my daughter is born later this year?
I can't tell you what the new born experience will be but I love my P10 nasal pillows with its limited head gear. No buckles. Just the elastic straps. Slipps on or off no interference with glasses. short hair the straps stuck like velcro. Shoulder length was a bit of trouble with the straps slipping. Pony tail length, thread my hair through the split strap, and it stays all night.

I can't tell you what to expect because people's experiences can be very different. We had a bad first month of wake-ups for our first child then things mellowed out quickly. The second child was a piece of cake. I've heard some friends say it took a year to get over the hump.
I think it helps if the partners share the responsibly of getting up. (I almost wrote husband/wife but then caught myself... hey, these are modern times )

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

The Swift FX and Swift FX Nano headgear comes off easy. Nothing to undo. just slides up and off.
