Paranoid that my baby is still breathing throughout the night

Hehe… I did that for the first 4 months, it’s completely normal. Just be thankful that your baby has such a caring parent.

you sound like you are going to be a very protective parent in the future..that is good kind of your kid will probably thank you for not just abondining them

no, its normal.. its the parental side of you showing. making sure that you still have your baby with you. I did that with my sister, its normal

im not a mother but my best friend is, and she was like that with her daughter when she was 1st born, I guess if it keeps you happy and feeling relxad then I say keep doing it, no harm in checkin I suppose xxx

Yes, it is normal. When I had my son we put him a bassinet right next to out bed and I would put my hand over his mouth to feel him breathing. And if he didn’t wake up when he usualy did, I would automaticly wake up to check on him. When turned 3 weeks old we started to put him in his own bed and that was so hard I could barley stand it! I was constantly going in his room and checking on him! Just try your hardest not to worry about it too much, and make sure you are getting plenty of sleep as well ok :)

I would say a little bit if he had a medical problem or something that would stop or slow his breathing it would be perfectly fine to be paranoid and keep checking but if he is a healthy baby then you shouldnt need to constantly check his breathing he can handle it! if your worried though perhaps you could get a baby monitor from his cot to your dresser or bedside table ect so if any noise or anything is made youd know right away but its not necessary to check it so much if hes healthy I know as a mother though your going to be extreemly concerned and worried about the slightest things that might go wrong and that but he can handle his breathing if hes healthy!

Thanks guys =] I feel better now .. I will check out that monitor =]

no you are just making sure the baby is ok im 15 years old with a baby girl and I do the same thing
