Feeling so guilty! Updated
This Christmas me and my husband took our 5 month old to his family’s house. We forgot his monitor and I put him down on his grandpas bed with a fairly big blanket on top of it bc our son spits up sometimes and I didn’t want it on his bed. My husband got him to sleep and shut the door. I checked on him about 5 mins later and he was good. Well we are all sitting around the table for about 40 mins or so and I ask him to go check on him bc I’m in a corner and can’t easily get out. I hear our son screaming as soon as he opened the door. Which is unusual. I go back there and Ronan (our son) had pulled the blanket all over his face and was completely wrapped in it. Josiah (husband) had found him like that and didn’t even realize he was still in the room, he didn’t start crying until he pulled the blanket off. He was red and his head was wet from crying into the blanket. He wasn’t blue though. We both feel HORRIBLE. And terrified. What if I hadn’t asked him to go check on him?
Has anyone else done something like this? I feel so guilty and bad knowing he could have died.
Update: I don’t ever put him to bed or naps with anything other than his pjs and paci.
It was literally this one time I laid him on a blanket. And didn’t think it would be an issue but it was. /:
