I just need some encouragement 💙

This is my first baby, he is now 2 weeks old. I’ve always struggled with anxiety and paranoia and I knew it would get worse when he was born, so I try and work through it best I can. It hasn’t been horrible but I definitely struggle, especially at night. It’s really hard to not be paranoid about him dying. I know that’s extreme. We finally got a system down with swaddling him at night in his bassinet and it helps him sleep way better. We got one of those Velcro ones and it does help me feel better (I was so bad at swaddling with a blanket) but I still always worry about him suffocating somehow if it comes too high or his hands come out. I just need some words of wisdom that he’ll be ok! I know it’s silly. Just trying to shake these new mom jitters.
