How to stop worrying about SIDS?

Question

FTM and I’m often worried about SIDS. Whenever she’s sleeping, I’m always checking to make sure she’s still breathing. She’s 3 weeks now. I have a halo bassinet and don’t fall asleep with her on me. I try to do all the things to help reduce the risk but I’m so terrified.

Answer

SIDS is not death by suffocation people. Bed sharing will not cause sids. Co sleeping is actually recommended to reduce SIDS but again theres no real scientificically proven reason to why babies stop breathing on their own.

Answer

I have the owlet sock and helps me feel at ease when she sleeps

Answer

Pacifier helps reduce risks

Answer

I'm the same way!

Answer

If you are following the ABCs of safe sleep your chances of SIDS are so low, like 1 in a million. Look up the reasons for sids it is bedsharing, smothering by blankets, etc 
The chances your baby just stops breathing is so very small

Answer

Infant deaths from 2004-2014 show that bed sharing is NOT safe and accounted for over 56% of tracked deaths. 
If people think bedsharing is safe, please provide evidenced based sources to back it up.

Answer

Owlet!! Can’t recommend it enough.

Answer

I’m the same. Sometimes at night our son (12 days old) refuses to sleep by himself. So we bed share, but I’m wide awake until he sleeps then I put him back in his bassinet. I’m still awake making sure he is breathing for about 5 minutes then I go to sleep. I pump every two hours or so at night, so I’m once again up and making sure he is ok. 
SIDS has me really scared but we’ve been making sure to keep an eye on him and follow the ABC’s.
