I feel like a horrible mother...

Mikayla

Usually I absolutely love rocking my baby to sleep but last night I was just so exhausted. She finally fell asleep so I put her in her crib and as soon as I laid her down she was wide awake. I cried and cried while rocking her back to sleep. Finally I just couldn’t rock her anymore and I set her in her crib while she was still awake. Well a few moments later she threw up and choked. It was coming out of her nose and everything. I hurried and picked her up and patted her back and she took a deep breath in and started crying so much. I felt horrible. This would have never happened if I would have just continued to hold her instead of putting her down because I was tired. I feel so guilty and like a horrible mother. I feel like I was being selfish and she got hurt from it. I barely slept last night because I felt so bad and I was so worried about her. Honestly I felt like I didn’t deserve to sleep because I put her down and she choked. I slept a total of 2 hours last night and I haven’t left her side during her naps today. I just feel completely horrible 😭
