Am I the only one who has anxiety when baby is sleeping?

Question

I get so scared when my baby sleeps I can’t sleep when my baby sleeps
I always have to be checking on him if he’s breathing/ok
See if my baby turned over or whatever’s 
Any mommas like this? What’d you do to resolve this problem

Answer

Momma, I still have this, and my daughter is 22 months old. 😂 It does get better though. ❤️

Answer

This is why we’re getting her an owlet sock! I will be way more at peace knowing there’s a little something that can monitor her while I get some rest. I will probably sleep with one eye open tho, bc I’m paranoid about her 🥺

Answer

It does get easier, although I found the first 3 months the most difficult. My lb will be 7 months next week and I still constantly check on him when he is sleeping.

Answer

I eventually got so tired I had no choice but to sleep. I set an alarm for every few hours to check her which made me feel better too. Some people use the owlet sock maybe something you’d like

Answer

Yup. 6 months and at least once a night I check to make sure he’s okay. So does my husband. I’ve woken up to him checking on our son. Kinda why I haven’t moved him to his nursery yet.

Answer

I always check if she’s breathing right before I go to sleep, and even then I’m constantly listening to if I can hear her breathing lol

Answer

I have the sock but tbh I’m still paranoid... 
my son is 1 week 2 days old and like to slightly sleep on his side... I don’t sleep at all unless someone is up with him

Answer

My baby is 2 weeks old and I’m so terrified of sids. I always put my finger underneath her nose or put my hand on her chest to feel her breathing.

Answer

I wake up throughout the night and check on my baby. We have her crib in our room and I check on her before I go to bed and throughout the night I’ll wake up and sometimes if I cough or make a noise I can hear her stir around then I go back to sleep.

Answer

Nothing. I was so paranoid with my three kids until they turned one. My niece died of SIDS years ago and it has haunted our family.
